In the 19th century Bloxham had a very strong baptist following. By the beginning of the 19th century the Particular Baptists had become the most vigorous of the nonconformist bodies in the parish and neighbourhood. A meeting house was registered in 1808 in the names of 6 local men of whom 3 belonged to the Gascoigne and Cakebread families. In 1812 a chapel was built and registered and in 1821 a baptist minister was ordained. There was also a baptist Sunday School by this date. A new and larger chapel was built in 1859. The whereabouts of the other records relating to this chapel are not known.
