Rivington Unitarian Chapel, Historic Unitarian chapel in Rivington, England.
The sandstone chapel features traditional box pews, a commanding pulpit, and large windows that illuminate the gathering space for worshippers.
Built in 1703 after Reverend Samuel Newton and his followers left the Anglican church during the religious changes of 1662, establishing a nonconformist congregation.
The chapel maintains regular Unitarian services, welcoming people of different beliefs while preserving centuries-old religious traditions in Lancashire.
The chapel opens its doors for religious ceremonies, community gatherings, and guided tours, with free entry and parking facilities near the building.
The circular graveyard contains stones dating to the 17th century, documenting generations of local families and historical figures from the area.
