Looking Back to Look Forward: The Old Meeting House Unitarian Chapel, Mansfield
Heritage Open Day: Visit the Old Meeting House Unitarian Chapel in the centre of Mansfield and find out more about the history of our beautiful chapel, our fascinating town and how our community has been shaped over time by the people who came to settle here. Featured on the HODs 30 Year Anniversary Gallery, this Meeting House built in 1702, is the oldest nonconformist place of worship still in existence in Nottinghamshire. Marvel at the Victorian interior featuring spectacular stained glass windows, three by the William Morris Co as well as fascinating memorials to noteworthy people like William Hollins, the founder of Viyella Textiles and John Harrop-White, Town Clerk and Freeman of the town.
