View the interior with unique art-deco stained-glass windows.
Learn about its history, beginning in Northgate End Unitarian Chapel, Halifax. Learn about the energetic, possibly eccentric man whose enthusiasm began it all. See where the 'Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo' held a party to celebrate his win!
Chartists, Conscientious objectors, early female ministers all feature in the history of the Chapel. We were one of the first in the area to register to hold same-sex marriages.
Pepper Hill Unitarian Chapel is an attractive non-conformist chapel, which has served the community as a place of worship, venue for weddings, Christenings and funerals, a Sunday school and community centre since the mid-19th century.
View the old chapel registers, Sunday School records and a display of old photographs.
