The Octagon Unitarian Chapel is open as usual tomorrow (Friday)
Feel free to drop by anytime between 11 and midday. We are on hand to show you round and answer any questions.
Here we have our famous roundel which represents different religions. As Unitarians we believe each persons faith is a matter of conscience and is found by their own life experiences and reasoning.
