About Atherton
- Chowbent Unitarian Chapel in Atherton, built in 1721, is one of the oldest surviving Nonconformist chapels in Lancashire and a Grade II* listed building. The chapel was built by the congregation of Protestant Dissenters who had been meeting in the area since the seventeenth century, and it reflects the strong tradition of religious Nonconformity that was characteristic of the Lancashire textile and mining communities. The chapel's survival over three centuries, largely unchanged in its external appearance, makes it one of the most important examples of early eighteenth-century Nonconformist architecture in the north of England.
