Stand Chapel is a member congregation of the Unitarian movement that evolved out of a desire to be free from the restrictions of formal creeds and doctrines. The name "Unitarian" was chosen because Unitarians believe in the Unity or unipersonality of God, as opposed to the doctrine of the Trinity. Unitarianism only became legal in 1813 but was particularly influential in the 19th century. There has been a dissenting congregation at Stand since 1662 and the first chapel was built in 1693. It was rebuilt in 1818 and was destroyed by bombing in 1940. The present chapel on Ringley Road was built in 1952 with a schoolroom being added in 1975.
