DOCUMENTS: The Unitarian Deeds

The deeds of the Unitarian Chapel of Belper are preserved in the Derbyshire Record Office in Matlock.

We have viewed the two most interesting and useful sets of deeds, The Abstract of Title and Conveyance, for the chapel, both of which are inscribed by pen on several oversized sheets of thick paper pinned in the corner by a fancy stud.
