Shrewsbury Unitarian Church, Religious building in High Street, Shrewsbury, England.
Shrewsbury Unitarian Church is a Grade II listed building on High Street with a stone facade facing the main street. The interior accommodates around 350 worshippers.
The building was established in 1662 when two clergy members were expelled from their churches and founded their own congregation. A significant reconstruction took place in 1839.
The congregation represents an inclusive religious practice that welcomes visitors of various beliefs. This openness is visible in the regular gatherings and the conversational nature of the services held here.
Visits are possible on several days of the week, including Sunday mornings for services. It is worth checking exact opening times in advance, as these may vary.
Young Charles Darwin attended services here regularly during his childhood years. The renowned poet Samuel Coleridge was also connected to the place and preached here for a brief period.
