Toxteth Unitarian Chapel

Toxteth Unitarian Chapel is in Park Road, Dingle, Liverpool, Merseyside, England.

[4] In 1611 a group of Puritan farmers built a school in Toxteth and appointed Richard Mather, at the age of 15, as its master.

[1][5] He then went to Brasenose College, Oxford to continue his education but he was asked to return to Toxteth.

[10] By 1662 the minister of the chapel was a Presbyterian named Thomas Crompton and he was joined by another Dissenter, Michael Briscoe.

In 1672 both ministers obtained licences under the Royal Declaration of Indulgence and the chapel was enlarged to accommodate Dissenters from central Liverpool.

[13] Horrocks was the first person to accurately predict the transit of Venus and was a member of the chapel.
