The Baptist New Meeting House is a historic church building at 461 Main Street in New London, New Hampshire. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof and projecting entry pavilion, topped by a three stage tower. The church was built in 1826, and its styling closely follows the patterns laid out by Asher Benjamin in his 1797 The Country Builder's Assistant, a major architectural guide from the Federal period. The tower houses a bell cast by Paul Revere.[3]
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
