On your right, look for a neat, honey-colored building with two dark blue doors, crisp white trim, and those two big oval windows like calm, unblinking eyes.
This is the Unitarian Meeting House, and it wears its importance quietly... which is very on-brand. It’s Grade I listed, meaning it’s protected at the highest level in England, the architectural equivalent of “do not touch” tape. The building you’re seeing opened in 1700, launched into the world by John Fairfax, and what’s remarkable is how much of the original interior has survived. Three centuries of footsteps, sermons, and shifting ideas... and the place still holds its shape.
Unitarians have long made room for questions rather than shutting them down. So while other churches argued over who had the RIGHT answers, this one was built for people willing to keep thinking.
When you’re set, Willis Building is a 1-minute walk heading north.
