This church was formed at Pendlebury Hall in 1820. The church itself was built in 1858, closed in 1983 and demolished in 1985. 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.

After the church 'went out of use', and was demolished, the site was obtained by Asda. The headstones were destroyed, and remains were removed and re-buried at Swinton Cemetery, to make way for a turning space for lorries at Asda.
There is nothing remaining of the church or churchyard.
