It was in the 1980s that Wisbech took the decision to modernise its town centre.  Several old houses and old shops would be pulled down and a new shopping centre - the Horsefair Shopping Centre - would be erected. One of the buildings the town planners wanted to pull down was a mission hall belonging to the church. The church negotiated with the developers and were able to secure a deal; the adjoining building would be released to the developers provided that the builders undertook extensive refurbishment work to the interior of the Baptist Church.

The existing church building was converted with an upper floor for use as a church, and lower floor for the Sunday School.  New toilet and kitchen facilities were installed with a Minister’s vestry and classrooms.  The redeveloped church premises came into use in 1988.
