History and description
[edit | edit source]The Kingwood Baptist Congregation was organized on July 27, 1745, in Baptistown. The Locktown church was known as the Lower Church, as compared to the Baptistown church. In 1819, the congregation built this two-story fieldstone church south of the Wickecheoke Creek on land from Daniel Rittenhouse. The first pastor, David Bateman, died in 1832 and is buried under the church floor.[3][4]
