Notes
Up to the year 1652 the nearest place of worship for the inhabitants of this village was the Parish Church at Bradfield, four miles away. In 1652, a Mr. Richard Sperne, of Stannington, built a chapel, and endowed it with some lands for the support of a minister. This chapel was taken down in 1742, and the present chapel erected, and further endowed by Mr. Thomas Marriot, of Ughill.
From 1657 to 1662 one Isaac Darwent officiated, who, it is presumed, used the Book of Common Prayer at all the services. From 1689 to 1696 the minister was the Rev. Abraham Dawson, and it was in his time the Prayer Book ceased to be used.
The first distinctly Unitarian minister was a Mr. Gibson; he was appointed in 1785, and was succeeded by a Mr. Meenly, in 1794; he was followed by the Rev. Peter Wright, who held the living for forty years; in 1855 the Rev. M. A. Moon was selected as his successor, and remained until 1863; the Rev. H. Hill was appointed in 1864, and shortly after he came the interior of the chapel was cleared away and the arrangements thoroughly modernised, at a cost of about £500; in 1873 the Rev. W. H. Eastlake succeeded Mr. Hill, and on his leaving, in 1876, the pulpit was supplied by Mr. J. B. Gardener; in 1879, the Rev. E. C. Town became the minister; in 1882, the Rev. R. Cowley Smith; in 1884, the Rev. Iden Payne.
