Lincoln Unitarian Chapel

According to the church's website, the congregation was founded in 1662, and before 1725 met at John Disney's house. The building was recorded as a Presbyterian chapel from 1725 to 1792, a Calvinistic Methodist chapel from 1792 to 1803, a Nonconformist chapel from 1803 to 1837, and has been a Unitarian chapel since 1837, except in 1902–23 when it was not in use. The existing building dates from 1725. The original single room had a porch added in 1819, and an extension to the east (rear) was present by 1887. A further extension to the south face of the rear was present by 1930. The building was restored in 1987.

The single-storey rectangular building is of red brick, which is mostly rendered, with limestone dressings, under a slate roof. The original Georgian building rests on a stone plinth. The main entrance on the High Street is on the west face and has a central limestone ashlar porch in Jacobean Revival style. The arched entrance has a keystone, with a pediment above. The west face has a pediment with ball finials. The paired windows to this face are of stone, with arched tops; Gothic Revival tracery was subsequently added. The north and south sides have two windows in similar style. The original rear (east) face windows have been partly obscured by the full-width, 19th-century extension,…
