After 210 years, Oldham Unitarian Chapel is no more

The interior of the now re-named Oldham Chapel

After 210 years, Unitarian Chapel Oldham has changed its name and is now just Oldham Chapel.

The chapel remains affiliated to the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches.

Minister, the Rev Bob Pounder, said: "We now see ourselves falling within the Free Christian category of the denomination.

"We see ourselves as being ‘free’ in that we may worship as we see fit, in accordance with Biblical doctrine."

Oldham Chapel is now registered as such with the Charity Commission.
