Toxteth Unitarian Chapel, Puritan chapel in Dingle district, Liverpool, England.
The Toxteth Unitarian Chapel stands at the intersection of Park Road and Dingle Lane, featuring stone walls, round-headed windows, and an octagonal cupola on the roof.
Built in 1618 by local Puritan farmers, the chapel served as both a religious sanctuary and a school under the leadership of Richard Mather until his departure to Massachusetts.
The chapel contains preserved box pews from the 17th century, decorative wall tablets from the 18th century, and a Brindley & Foster pipe organ installed in 1906.
Services take place every two weeks at this Grade I listed building, which opens its doors to visitors during the annual Heritage Open Days in September.
The chapel houses a memorial plaque for Jeremiah Horrox, who studied there and became the first person to accurately predict and observe the Venus transit in 1639.
