A notice board outside the bungalow at 45 Seymour Road, Trowbridge shows that this is a Unitarian Meeting House. Unitarians welcome all who believe that religion is wider than any sect and deeper than any set of opinions. Trowbridge Unitarians trace their origins back to a group of dissenters known to have met secretly near Southwick in about 1655. At that time, before the Act of Toleration (1689), it was dangerous for Dissenters to meet, so the members had to meet outside Trowbridge. The congregation has met in this bungalow since the 1980s, following the demolition of Conigre Unitarian Church.
