This finely detailed lithograph by R. Cartwright, a London-based lithographer active in the early 1830s, depicts the historic house in Kettering, Northamptonshire, where the Baptist Missionary Society was formed on 2 October 1792. The building holds deep historical significance, particularly within the Baptist tradition, as it marks the birthplace of one of the world’s first organised missionary movements - closely associated with Rev. William Carey, the school's namesake.

Cartwright’s work captures the modest Georgian architecture of the home and reflects the style of early 19th-century British lithography, which was often used to commemorate places of religious, social and historical importance.
