King Edward Street Chapel, Macclesfield, Gothic Revival Unitarian chapel in Macclesfield, England.

The religious building measures 60 feet in length and 20 feet in width, constructed with local red sandstone and featuring external staircases to galleries.

Built in 1690 following the Act of Toleration, the chapel transformed from a Trinitarian tradition to Unitarianism during John Palmer's ministry between 1764 and 1780.

The chapel maintains an open approach, welcoming people of all beliefs without a fixed creed, allowing individuals to follow their spiritual path independently.

Located through a narrow passageway from King Edward Street, the chapel contains a two-decker pulpit, galleries at both ends, and a two-manual organ from 1846.

The vestry displays oil portraits of minister Thomas Culcheth and his wife, alongside an intricately carved chair from 1688 and an alabaster christening bowl from 1842.
