The former Unitarian Chapel, now de-consecrated, is the premises of the Pitcher and Piano public house.
The Pitcher and Piano is a newly refurbished pub that is located inside this striking Grade II-listed church in the Lace Market Conservation Area of Nottingham.
'The site has always been home to a place of worship although the grand structure we see today is a relatively recent addition. The original chapel built in 1805, had a non-assuming façade; however this was replaced in 1876 by the imposing Unitarian Chapel with its Gothic towers and elaborate stain glass windows.'

The Unitarian Chapel was built, to a Gothic Revival-style design in 1876, by Bristol architect Stuart Colman. Later it became a lace industry museum and exhibition centre. A detailed description of the building can be seen at the following link: (
