Southwick Baptist church had held open air baptisms in this spot by the Lambrok Stream up until about 1910. The new (1815) church has a baptistery of its own, but the pool was rebuilt by Edward Linzey & Son of Trowbridge. On 22 September, 1937, the baptistery was re-opened by H. L. Taylor, President of the Baptist Union, and a well-attended re-consecration service was held.
