Former Unitarian Chapel was located in the former refectory of Blackfriars Friary. It was used as an Anabaptist (later Unitarian) meeting house from 16409 until 1912. In the 1920s it was restored and in 1982 it was given to The King's School as an art gallery. The building is shown on the Tithe map (1837- 58) and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd Edition O/S maps and the current Master map.
