Description
The Unitarian Chapel, also known as Platt Chapel, is located on Wilmslow Road in Fallowfield, Manchester. Built in 1790, it is possibly designed by John Carr of York and underwent alterations in 1874. The chapel is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a slate roof with red tiled ridge pieces. It has a small rectangular plan with a canted apse at the north end, an added wing, and 20th-century additions to the west side.
The building is a single storey with three bays, each containing round-headed blank arches with stone imposts. There is a round-headed multi-paned window with radiating glazing bars in each bay, along with a corbel table at the eaves and coped gables, likely added during the 1874 alterations. The entrance front at the south end is gabled and features a gabled Romanesque-style doorway from 1874, flanked by small round-headed windows. Above the doorway is a large round-headed blank arch that contains a window with three stepped, tall round-headed lights, flanked by similar windows, all featuring radiating glazing bars. The chapel also has a gabled apex bellcote. The interior has not been inspected.
