Nottingham, Other Christian Chapels

The New Testament Disciples

These people occupy Salem Chapel, Barkergate. It was erected in 1817.

The Friends' Meeting House

This is in Park Street, removed from Spaniel Row. It is a plain edifice, erected in 1847, and the design is chaste and pleasing. The burial ground is adjacent.

The Huntingdonians

These people occupy Providence Chapel, a small building in Plumptre Street.

The New Jerusalem Chapel

This is a small building in North Church Street, occupied by a few of the followers of Emanuel Swedenburg, a Swedish nobleman, who died in London in 1772. Mr William Pegg is the leader.

The Unitarian Chapel

This stands on a court behind the High Pavement, and was erected about the close of the 17th century, soon after the passing of the Toleration Act. Previous to this time the congregation suffered much persecution, and was obliged to assemble secretly in a vault under a house at the top of Drury Hill. They were anciently called Socinians, from their founder, Faustus Socinus, who died in Poland in 1604. The chapel was new roofed, the floor flued, the walls stuccoed, and otherwise repaired in 1805. It will seat about 800 hearers, and has a free school attached to it. The Rev. Benjamin Carpenter is the minister.
