The Parish of Spaldwick, Huntingdonshire was in the peculiar of the
prebendary of Long Stow (Stow Longa as it is now known). The Baptist Church
there was founded sometime before 1737 and was rebuilt in 1844.
The Original "Birth" registers are held at the Public Record Office, but
they are also on microfiche, so the L.D.S. must have a copy.
The Original Baptism registers (presumably of adult baptisms, though I don't
profess to know for sure) are held at :

Cambridge County Record Office (Huntingdon Branch),
Grammar School Walk,
Huntingdon,
PE18 6LF

Hope this helps
