Octagon Chapel, Grade II* listed Unitarian chapel in Colegate, Norwich, England.

The Octagon Chapel features a perfect octagonal structure designed in Neo-Palladian architecture with Georgian elements and large windows illuminating the interior space.

Thomas Ivory completed the construction of this Presbyterian chapel in 1756, which later transformed into a gathering place for the Unitarian community.

The chapel maintains a concert series where musicians perform without compensation, with all proceeds directed toward charitable organizations in the region.

The religious center welcomes visitors of all backgrounds to participate in services, community gatherings, craft groups, and educational programs throughout the week.

Edward Taylor, who served as the chapel organist, published a dedicated collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes specifically for this congregation in 1812.
