It was founded in c.1700.
The congregation began as Presbyterians but moved towards Unitarianism around the start of the 19th C.
Unitarians believe in the Unity or unipersonality of God, as opposed to the doctrine of the Trinity - hence the name 'Unitarian'. Unitarianism only became legal in 1813 but was particularly influential in the 19th century.
