Description

The portico of the Unitarian Chapel, built in 1821, features a large Doric hexastyle design with a triglyph frieze and a pediment above. It has a central door framed by a shouldered architrave, flanked by iron gates. The ground floor walls on either side of the portico each have three blank windows, also with shouldered architraves. The rest of the Unitarian Chapel has since been demolished.
