on the EDP site also describes the building and its history. Not long after its building some Presbyterian congregations in England were moving more to the Unitarian view that there is only one God rather than a Trinity, and in 1820 this church became Unitarian. Prominent dissenting families who worshipped there included the botanist and co-founder of the Linnean Society Sir James Edward Smith.
