2/233 Dean Row Unitarian Chapel

30/3/1951

GV II*

Formerly Presbyterian, now Unitarian Chapel c.1695: restorations of 1844 and 1971. English garden wall bond red brick with sandstone dressings. Kerridge stone-slate roof and stone ridge. Long rectangular plan. 2-storey symmetrical 8-bay south front. End bays project slightly and have elliptical brick arched heads to small porches with studded board doors with iron fishtail strap hinges behind. To the inside of each end bay is a flight of 13 external steps with stone coped side wall which lead to similar doors to the galleries. Between are 4 2-light rebated chamfered stone mullioned windows with brick hood moulds below and 6 similar windows above (all restored). Bronze war memorial plaques in the centre. Both gables are stone-coped and ball finialled, the west one having a sanctus bellcote. Interior: Galleries at both ends, the east one now with organ. Altar table enclosed by curving rail at east end and pulpit of 3 levels of recessed moulded panels, now moved from centre of north side. Front of west gallery records past ministers and is supported by an ovolo-moulded beam.

Very similar to the chapels at Macclesfield and Knutsford of almost the same date, though has lost its original interior layout, in restoration of 1844, when pulpit and seating arrangement re-organised.
