The Baptists originated in London in the early seventeenth century, and by 1851 were divided into five distinct sections, the largest being the Calvinistic Baptists with 1,947 congregations in England and Wales, out of a total of 2,789. The Baptists' main strength was in rural southern England, and in South Wales, including the mining valleys.
