The Gravel Pit Chapel was established in 1715–1716 (1716) in Hackney, then just outside London, for a Nonconformist congregation, which by the early 19th century began to identify itself as Unitarian. In 1809 the congregation moved to the New Gravel Pit Chapel nearby, while its old premises were taken over by Congregationalists. The New Gravel Pit Chapel was closed and demolished in 1969 (1969).

Background
History
The Gravel Pit Chapel was established in 1715–1716 in Hackney, then a village north-east of London, for a Presbyterian congregation seceding from that of John Barker, after the death of Matthew Henry. It took its name from the gravel pit near the bowling green in Mare Street. and by 2013 was a branch of Aquascutum. The New Gravel Pit Chapel was described in 1908 as being at the west end of Retreat Place, a row of almshouses. It was rebuilt in a Gothic style in 1857, and remained in use until it was damaged during the Blitz in 1940. The burial ground survives and includes historical references to some of the people buried in the grounds.
