Old Unitarian Meeting House, Religious building in Newcastle-under-Lyme, England

The Old Unitarian Meeting House features rendered brick walls, a hipped tile roof, and three bays with a central doorway flanked by square windows.

Built in 1717 to replace the original 1685 structure that burned down, this Meeting House represents one of the earliest nonconformist chapels in north Staffordshire.

The building served as a place of worship for Josiah Wedgwood and his siblings, connecting the religious structure to the pottery manufacturing heritage.

Located on Lower Street in Newcastle-under-Lyme, the Grade II listed building contains a chapel space, first-floor balcony room with organ, and social room.

The interior maintains original 18th-century gallery paneling and stair balustrade, while pews from a former Methodist church were installed in 1957.
