Octagon Chapel, Liverpool, Nonconformist church in Liverpool, England
The Octagon Chapel features eight arches and a domed ceiling supported by large timbers arranged in a wheel formation upon eight fluted columns.
Established in 1763, the chapel emerged from local congregations of Benn's Garden and Kaye Street, with Thomas Bentley leading its development and liturgical direction.
The chapel introduced the Liverpool Liturgy, a non-sectarian worship format that included hymns and influenced religious practices beyond the local community.
The structure stood in Temple Court until 1820, when the Liverpool Corporation acquired and transformed the property into a Fire Police Station.
Elizabeth Scott composed hymns for the Liverpool Liturgy used in the chapel, which reached notable figures including Thomas Jefferson in America.
