Brook Street Chapel, Knutsford
This Chapel was opened for the worship of God by Dissenters on the passing of the Toleration Act 1689. Elizabeth Gaskell, writer, was a member of the congregation and is buried in the churchyard.
There had been a wedding earlier in the day and the building was still decorated with gauze and pink roses inside and out. The altar and pulpit are central, and the congregation sits on either side.

Brook Street Chapel, Knutsford
A very generous gift of land was given by Isaac Antrobus (a Knutsford tanner and life long dissenter) to build a chapel and a small burial ground while other members gave money for the building and fitments. William Tong helped Isaac Antrobus organise the building of the New Chapel which was built so that it was inconspicuous and resembled a private house or farm building because the dissenters had a very real fear that the right to public worship and freedom from prosecution could be withdrawn. It is said that lookouts were posted by the outside steps to the galleries in case of attack.
