Unitarian: Bessels Green, Old Meeting House

A General Baptist congregation first met c1650. The 'Old Meeting House' was built in 1716, becoming Unitarian by 1800. Now called Sevenoaks Unitarian Church..

"The chapel, of red and blue chequer brick with segment-headed side windows with casements, is appended to the south to a two-storeyed house. An avenue of limes leads to the door. The scene is complete, an embodiment of the gentle, familial spirit of C18 Nonconformity" (Pevsner 1976).
