Unitarian Chapel on Effra Road. TQ 3114 7480. © unitarian.co.uk. This, and many other old engravings on this website, are reproduced from the downloadable books on the Unitarian Church Headquarters website here. The books are Pictures of Unitarian Churches by Emily Sharpe (1901) and the 1914 edition of Nonconformist Church Architecture by Ronald P. Jones M.A. (Oxon), and the images are reproduced by kind permission of James Barry of Unitarian Church Headquarters. My appreciation also to Mike Berrell for his efforts in this regard. The old church was demolished at some point, replaced by this building seen by Streetview in 2025. Link. The Chapel History page dates the old chapel to 1839, destroyed in WWII bombs in 1940, and its replacement built in 1962.
