York Unitarian Chapel

Lady Hewley also founded almshouses in Tanner Row in York, which were moved by the railway in 1839 to be the present Lady Hewley's Almshouses in St Saviourgate.

[3] There are also twelve almshouses known as Colton's Hospital in Shipton Street.

The most famous minister of the Chapel was Charles Wellbeloved, who was at first assistant to the Rev.

He was involved in saving the York city walls from being used to provide building materials, ended malpractices at York County Lunatic Asylum, founded the York Mechanics' Institute, wrote a guide to York Minster and initiated an appeal after a fire destroyed a Minster screen.

He was Principal of Manchester College, one of the dissenting academies for training ministers and the higher education of lay students.
