Description

Dukinfield Old Chapel is a Unitarian chapel built between 1840 and 1841, replacing an earlier structure from 1707. Designed by R. Tattersall, the chapel is constructed of ashlar stone and features a slate roof. It has a cruciform plan with a three-sided gallery, aisles, and an east organ, reflecting an early 14th-century style.

The west entrance is located beneath a five-light window adorned with geometric tracery. The gable is flanked by large octagonal pinnacles that are buttressed at the lower levels. Small stair wings are present on either side. The transepts are highlighted by three lancet windows, raked coped gables with kneelers, and clasping buttresses. Each side of the transepts has three bays with flat buttresses, lancet aisle windows featuring hoodmoulds and carved stops, and lancet clerestory windows accompanied by smaller blind lancets.

Inside, the chapel boasts quatrefoil piers with cast iron cores that support both the galleries and the nave arcade. The lofty nave and transepts are topped with quadripartite vaulting. Notable timberwork includes an elevated central pulpit, and the walls display various plaques. The stained glass windows, created by Comere and Capronnier, as well as Morris, date from different periods, with the north transept window by Morris depicting George, David, and Jonathan.
