These records contain details for 3747 gravestones and monuments from Hill Cliffe Baptist Chapel in Warrington gathered by volunteers from the Cheshire Family History Society.
Hill Cliffe Chapel is said to have one of the longest surviving protestant non-conformist congregations in Britain. The chapel dates to before the English Civil War and the local tradition is that Oliver Cromwell frequented the church around the time of the Battle of Warrington in 1651. Many American Baptist churches trace their history through this chapel.
