History of Bath First Spiritualist Church

Bath First was founded in 1920 when meetings were held above a small shop in Upper Borough Walls. Such was its popularity that moves to Citizen House and the Theatre were necessary. In 1936 records show Bath National Spiritualist Church located at 7 North Parade Buildings. In approximately 1951 the church moved to its present location in 16 Old Orchard Street, a John Wood listed building. In 2001 the name changed from Bath First Spiritualist Church to Bath First Spiritual Centre. Considerable effort has been made by many people the years since then to raise funds, maintain and improve the building. The church is a welcoming meeting place for all to join in the celebration of Spirit. It is also a progressive teaching centre in spiritual matters.
