Unitarian

Chapel

Field Row, Green Lane,

Belper. Derbyshire.

History of the Congregation

The congregation at Belper was

foundedin 1689. Jedediah Strutt, the local mill owner, had the original chapel built in 1788. The Chapel remains today very much as it was when it was built.

Underneath the tiered box-pews there is an arched catacomb where members of the Strutt family are interred. There is much civic pride in our historic chapel.
