Lewin's Mead Unitarian meeting house, Grade II* listed Unitarian meeting house in Bristol, England
Lewin's Mead Unitarian Meeting House is a Neoclassical building with a symmetrical facade, tall windows, and a central entrance designed to hold around 400 worshippers. The interior follows a simple, orderly layout typical of Nonconformist worship spaces from that period.
The building was constructed between 1788 and 1791, replacing an earlier chapel that stood on the same site since 1705. The location had previously been home to a Franciscan monastery before becoming a meeting place for Protestant dissenters.
The meeting house reflects how Protestant communities outside the established church gathered in Bristol's city center. Today it shows the architecture choices made to welcome diverse worship practices under one roof.
The building is located in Bristol's city center and is currently used as offices alongside the Emmanuel Bristol church group. The exterior is well-maintained and easily visible from the street, making it simple to locate and approach.
The original complex included a school and almshouse attached to the main building, serving the local community. These facilities demonstrate how religious congregations historically took responsibility for education and caring for those in need.
