The Relief Church (or Presbytery of Relief) was a Scottish Presbyterian denomination founded in 1761 in the Second Secession. It had no presence in Alnwick until 1837 when a congregation began to meet in a room at the bottom of Percy Street. They then built a chapel on Lisburn Street (now the Baptist Chapel), designed by Willim Henderson and Son, and costing £611 10s 0d. The foundation stone was laid on 11 February 1839, and it opened on 22 September 1839.
The entrance porch was added in 2004.
