"Historically Significant Church"

The congregation of the Rivington Unitarian Chapel dates back to 1662, when Reverend Samuel Newton was ejected from the Rivington Church. However, the chapel was only built in 1703 with the motto "Here let no man a stranger be". This plain looking chapel is largely built from gritstones with a small bell cote on the west gable. The chapels original gates and box pews have survived and memorials have been put up in honor of Reverend Samuel Newton and the Lord of Willoughby. The church is still active and services are held on every first and third Sunday at 2:15p. Its historical significance in the struggle of the nonconformists draws visitors to this warm and peaceful chapel.
