The Surrey Tabernacle Benefit Society was formed in 1843 to provide sickness and death benefit for men and death benefits for their wives. The Surrey Tabernacle was a Baptist church in Borough Road, and later in Wansey Street, Walworth. Those receiving benefit had to declare that they were believers in the Christian doctrines of God's Free and Sovereign Grace. The Society was dissolved in 1973.
