Dorchester

Background to the Congregationalist or Independent Churches :- ⁽¹⁾

This nonconformist denomination began as a movement within the Church of England, founded by Robert Browne. Its followers were at first called Separatists or Brownists, but were later known as Independents, and later still as Congregationalists. They were firmly suppressed, and in 1608 Browne's followers emigrated for a time to Amsterdam to escape persecution. But some returned, and in 1620 the church provided the London contingent of the passengers of the Mayflower when she sailed for America.

During the Commonwealth, Cromwell and several of his closest associates were Independents, though the official doctrine of the established church was then Presbyterian. When the monarchy was restored, the 1662 Act of Uniformity placed legal disabilities upon the sect, as it did upon other nonconformists. Although persecution was ended under William & Mary, by the 1689 Act of Toleration, meeting places were still subject to the granting of licences by either the county justices, the bishop or the archdeacon.

Background to the Independent Church in Dorchester :-

The first Independent church or chapel in Dorchester was founded in 1662 by the Revd William Benn, the Anglican minister at Holy Trinity, Dorchester, who had been ejected from his benefice. The church adopted Presbyterian doctrines. It met at The Priory, the home of Denzil Holles (1598-1679), and continued to do so after his death in 1680. In 1719 a meeting house was built in Pease Lane [Colliton Street] ⁽²⁾ but according to returns to the Commissioner earlier records for births marriages and deaths do not seem to have survived. Link to an account of The Old Dissenters Metting House

1719: Extract from the Quarter Sessions Records for Blandford Forum dated 7th April 1719: "At this Court came John GOSSOP Junior; Robert CLAPCOTT & William CHANNING and brought a Certificate that of new build messuage late of lands of George GOULD brewer situate in Pease Lane in ye Parish of the Holy Trinity within the Borough of Dorchester was set apart for of service of God by a Congregation of dissenting Protestants called Presbitarians & humbly prayed that ye same might be licensed and entered according to ye direction of the statute in that cause provided.

In directories he is variously described as a ship agent, sloop seller located at Broad Quay Bristol. He was buried 4 Mar 1843 at St Mary Redcliff, within the City of Bristol - His will dated 3rd Feb 1843 was proved 10th July 1843 (PROB 11/1982) This is a valuable research document as it refers to his nephews & neices Hawkins, his wife Ann, his sister Susan Keet of Salisbury, his nephew Edward Shortoof Exeter. His widow is probably the Ann Critchell who died in 1880 at Burton Royal.

(7) Mary Critchell (b.1781-1863) bap 16 Apr 1781 - she married by licence to a fellonger called John Woodley of Bemerton in Wiltshire at St Edmund's church in Salisbury on 6th Feb 1813. John Woodley was buried at St Edmund on 2nd March 1838 aged 53 (his will mentions only his wife). Mary Woodley married Joseph Snelgrove (her brother Richard's will wrongly refers to Ludgrove) at Salisbury in 1842. Mary Snelgrove of New Street aged 93 was uried at St Edmund 28 May 1863. Joseph Snelgrove of the same address was buried at St Thomas 22 Aug 1852.

1765 Thursday January 17th Robert son of Robert & Hannah CRITCHELL [baptised] Present Nurse BARTLETT, Ann LAMB,

[Note:- Link to more information about the Critchel family. As an aside, those present are 'Nurse BARTLETT and 'Ann LAMB'. There is no doubt that Ann LAMB was the young wife of the Rev Timothy LAMB as she was active in supporting her husbands Ministry (which lasted at Dorchester from 1752 to 1771) and is shown as being present at many of these baptisms. 'Nurse Bartlett' was Rebecca BARTLETT (1745-1822) who remained a spinster and was a long standing member of the church even appointing the Rev. Able Edwards (1747-1826) whom she had known since 1769 (and Minister of the church from 1772-1813) as Trustee in her will for the benefit of her married sister Ann CLARK and her children. Being a nurse and an active member of the church it is likely that Elizabeth assisted Ann Lamb at the birth of her last 4 children.]
