Leicester Unitarians
Welcome

Great Meeting Unitarian Chapel Leicester
We are a long-established congregation of, at present, thirty to forty individuals who share an enquiring outlook into non-dogmatic liberal religion.

The Chapel and its history
The Chapel was erected in 1708 as a "Meeting House of Protestant Dissenters" where with freedom from dogma we seek to affirm an open-ended faith in life, in humanity and in God.
