Tyndale Baptist Church is a Baptist church in Whiteladies Road, Redland, in Bristol, England.
The church was founded in 1869, following an initiative by Broadmead Baptist Church to establish a church to serve the growing population of Redland. Funds to build the new church were raised by a committee chaired by E. S. Robinson, founder of the paper and packaging business E. S. & A. Robinson, and mayor of Bristol in 1866.[1] The first minister was the Revd Richard Glover (1837–1919), President of the Baptist Union in 1884 and active in promoting the work of the Baptist Missionary Society.[1] Glover served the church until 1911.[2]
Several members of the church were prominent in Bristol public life. The first Lord Mayor of Bristol in 1899, Sir Herbert Ashman, was baptized by Glover. Edward Robinson, a son of E. S. Robinson, was Lord Mayor in 1908. Charles Townsend, M.P. for Bristol North from 1892 to 1895, was church secretary for more than 20 years.[1]
