Explore Cross Street Chapel Manchester: from 1694 to today

Heritage Open Day: Come and explore Cross Street Chapel's History.

Manchester's second oldest place of religious worship which has survived riots, mobs, blasts & developers.

See how our community has thrived for over 300 years of change. Cross Street Chapel was opened in 1694, as the Dissenters Meeting House, after the Act of Toleration in 1689, by William and Mary.

Our first minister Reverend Henry Newcome, was ejected from Manchester Collegiate Church, in August 1662, with the passing of the Act of Uniformity, limiting English religious worship. Until Dissenting worship was legal, the community met in private houses and a barn in Shudehill.
