History
The church was founded in 1662 by a group of Anglican clergy following "The Great Ejection" on August 24th 1661 - St. Bartholomew's Day.
The group included the Rev. Robert Porter from Pentrich in Derbyshire.
The chapel itself was built in 1702 and enlarged in 1870 financed by local mill owner, William Hollins, former owner of Pleasley Vale Mills.
The Old Meeting House is the oldest non-conformist place of worship in Nottinghamshire.
Today Unitarians accept that everyone has the right to seek for truth and meaning for themselves - and the fundamental tools for doing this are your own life experiences and your own conscience, and the best setting for doing this is in a community that welcomes you as you are - beliefs, doubts, questions, and all - but also stimulates and challenges you. We are called Unitarians because of a traditional emphasis on the oneness of God but today we affirm the unity of us all as human beings and the whole universe as an interdependent web of life. Whatever age, race, gender, sexual orientation, you are welcome to come along to our services and meetings. Please see the contacts section for more details.
