Britain's What's On Event Guide
Dukinfield Old Chapel (Unitarian)
Heritage Open Day: See our imposing neo-Gothic Grade II* listed chapel with its impressive stained glass, unusual cantilever pulpit door, crypt with a mysterious well and fascinating graveyard. The chapel is part of the local Beatrix Potter Trail. Built on the foundations of a smaller 1707 chapel the present building opened in 1840. Old Chapel has been described by Pevsner as 'the best building in Dukinfield' and has many outstanding features including a Grade 11* Alexander Young organ. Visitors can explore the chapel using a printed heritage guide and the more adventurous can visit the loft with views high above Tameside or descend into the crypt (weather permitting) accompanied by a human Heritage Guide to see the well and local family vaults.
