Rehoboth Chapel, Jarvis Brook

The Rehoboth Chapel stands in Jarvis Brook, a small village in East Sussex. Built in 1876, the chapel is made of red and blue brick. It belongs to the Strict Baptist tradition, a branch of Christianity known for its conservative practices. The congregation traces its roots back to 1852, when members left the Forest Fold chapel near Crowborough. They originally met in a schoolroom before constructing this permanent place of worship. The chapel remains an active place of worship today. Its congregation still follows the Strict Baptist tradition, maintaining strong ties with the Forest Fold chapel. The building is officially registered under the Places of Worship Registration Act of 1855. This registration ensures its legal status as a place of worship. Visitors to the chapel will find a simple, unadorned interior typical of Strict Baptist meeting houses. The red and blue brick exterior gives the building a distinctive appearance. The chapel’s quiet setting in Jarvis Brook reflects its peaceful atmosphere. It stands as a modest but important example of religious heritage in the area.
