The Chapel was built in 1872, which replaced an earlier chapel in the town (1814). The architect of the chapel was Thomas Worthington, some of whose relatives were long time members of the chapel. Our chapel gives an almost spiritual feeling of inner peace, due to the simple, tranquil interior. The three stained glass memorial windows at the front of the chapel were a later addition. Furthermore, the original windows showing flowers, plants and the seasons are on the south side of the chapel.
A wide range of activities, beside worship, take place in the chapel and its adjacent small and large halls. We host many activities, for example: meetings, exhibitions and religious education. In addition, we also host plays, dancing, social gatherings and concerts. We enjoy engaging with all sorts of people, consequently many of our activities are outward-looking towards the local community.
Altrincham Unitarians are affiliated to the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches and as a result, have links with other liberal religious groups all over the world.
At Altrincham Unitarians, our ministers strive to create an open and inclusive environment. We believe in the idea of living in our faith of the divine spirit of life. Furthermore, we act through a loyalty to social justice, evidenced through not only words, but also our deeds. Rev. Danny Crosby also runs a blog that gives his personal insight into many different aspects of Unitarianism and life as a minister. To view the blog please click the button above.
