As early as 1693, a house in North Ives (Oxenhope) was being licensed for Baptist preaching, but from 1748 the work began to grow when Baptists started meeting in a barn near Bridgehouse Mills.

William Grimshaw was rather aggrieved that many of his converts left to join the Baptist cause. But he appeared to never hold a grudge for he kept a good friendship with James Hartley, the first minister of the West Lane Baptist Chapel, built in 1752. A secession from the West Lane Baptists resulted in worship again taking place in the Bridgehouse barn; this finally led to the Strict Baptists opening their own chapel at Hall Green in 1824.

The Chapel flourished under the ministry of the Rev. Moses Saunders. Hall Green was instrumental in starting the Baptist cause at Horkinstone (now gone). The Church also, along with West Lane, supplied preachers to the Baptist Sabbath School at Hawksbridge from 1832. J. Horsfall Turner, at the the time of writing his History of Haworth in the 1870s, declared that Hall Green had been without a resident minister for some time. However, the ministry at Hall Green continues today with a thriving congregation.
