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.
