This film features four chapels designed for Dissenters or Nonconformists: Dukinfield Unitarian in Manchester, which was built to assert the new respectability that Nonconformists had attained in the eyes of the law; King Street Congregational in Newcastle-under-Lyme, which with its range of weektime activities became the center of its congregation's life; Bethesda Methodist Chapel in Hanley, a `Nonconformist cathedral'; and Saltaire Congregational near Bradford, a model church designed for a model town. In each case their architecture can be seen as expressive of the kind of worship which they were intended to shelter.
