The church was founded in 1864 to provide more local meetings for the Unitarian movement, saving them a trip to Lewins Mead in the centre of town. It was designed by Pope and Bindon and cost £6,000. The course of its service ended in February, 1989 and was sold off, with the intention of demolition and construction of residential units. However, a protest proved strong enough; the building was retained and converted into offices.
