Charlotte Chapel (Edinburgh)
Charlotte Chapel, often referred to in the past as the Charlotte Baptist Chapel, is a church in Rose Street in central Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. It is an independent Baptist church, and is not a part of the Baptist Union of Scotland.
==History==
The church was established in January 1808, when Christopher Anderson, a young Edinburgh businessman, began evangelical work in the Pleasance area of the city. By 1816 his Pleasance church was too small and he bought Charlotte Chapel, recently vacated by a Qualified congregation which had joined the Scottish Episcopal Church and then moved to St John's Church, on Princes Street. This original two-storeyed building seated 750. Anderson was pastor until 1851 and membership peaked at 232 in 1873, although many more attended services. Membership began to fall due mainly to emigration, and by 1901 the church had no minister and only a small congregation. Joseph Kemp, of Hawick, who was appointed pastor, began a revival, holding open-air meetings in Princes Street. Membership rose once more and in 1907 plans for a new building were prepared. The present church was built at a cost of £7,250 and opened in 1912 with seating for exactly 1000. The only alteration since has been the creation of a lounge in 1984.
