History
BARDON PARK was one of the ancient deer parks of Leicestershire.There is documentary evidence that the Park existed as early as 1270. It was part of the extensive manor of Whitwick, and in the early days it was known as Whitwick Park. The meetinghouse was probably built about 1694. But the origins of the meeting go back to the events of 1662 when the Presbyterians and Independents lost control of the parish churches of England, and were forced to operate "underground". Please do not be misled by the "1877" datestone above the entrance door. This is the date the chapel was re-modelled; not the date it was built. |
