In one of the rooms of Carey Baptist Church, in Hackleton, one can see the pulpit from which William Carey once preached in a thatched cottage. In 1809, when the thatched cottage could no longer accommodate the growing congregation, the church moved to a nearby site and erected a “24 feet by 36 feet” chapel. (The thatched cottage eventually suffered demolition.). In 1813, they had seventy-six members. There were 129 members, in 1862, when they added a Sunday-School room and a vestry. The present edifice of Carey Baptist Church dates to 1888-89.
