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.' A picture can be seen at the following link: (visit link)  

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: (visit link)

Stained glass windows that can be seen in the building are;
the East window 1904, by Morris & Co., to designs by Philip Burne-Jones, North aisle war memorial window, 1925, by Kempe & Co, (visit link) Sunday School memorial window, 1906, by Henry Holiday and North transept north window 1890, by H Enfield.

The Pitcher and Piano is now a Marston's Pub that offers an all-day food menu and a creative drinks list that includes a range of cocktails, worldly wines and boutique beers.
