Official site ↗

Founded 1810. A Baptist foundation begun in 1810 as the Baptist academy at Stepney in London (later at Regent's Park, hence the name); it relocated to Oxford from 1927 and became a Permanent Private Hall in 1957.

Occupies a dignified early-20th-century range on Pusey Street with a classical frontage and quiet inner garden, housing the Angus Library of Baptist history.

Visiting

A working small hall rather than a tourist site; casual access is limited and the Angus Library and buildings are best visited by arrangement, so check in advance.

Opening hours, admission and current access change often — check the official site before you go.
