MINEHEAD Baptist Church marked the start of its 200th anniversary celebrations with a walk, a service and the launch of a history booklet.

Church members and friends went on the walk from the old Baptist chapel in Periton to its current site in Parks Lane.

The booklet documenting 200 years of Minehead Baptist Church was put together by members Harriet Bridle and Barry Lorimer with contributions of information and anecdotes from various other people within the church.

It highlights a number of people, events and activities that have been significant in the life of the church, and was launched by minister Tim Langdon.

It is available for £5. For details contact the church office on 01643 709764.
