Description
The Old Meeting House, also known as the Unitarian Chapel, is a building that dates from 1746, although a chapel has existed on this site since 1662. It is a two-storey structure made of red brick, featuring a half-hipped tiled roof and an eaves cornice. The façade includes three cambered mullions and transoms, along with a wide doorcase that has fluted pilasters. This doorcase contains two six-panel moulded doors topped with a pediment. Inside, there is a gallery and a contemporary pulpit. The building is part of a group with Nos 31 to 37 (odd).
