The meeting house was founded in its present site in 1662 by the Revd Francis Tallents and the Revd James Bryan, two dissenters ejected from their living at St Chad's Church, Shrewsbury. It was destroyed by a mob of Jacobite supporters in 1715 but rebuilt the same year. In 1798, Samuel Coleridge[2] accepted the position of minister at the church, (salary £120 a year) and the effect of his first sermon is recorded by the 19-year-old William Hazlitt from Wem. Arriving in Shrewsbury at 8 p.m. on Saturday 13 January, he preached his first sermon on 14 January and with two others on 21 and 28 January, allowing him to leave Shrewsbury on 29 January for Cote House, the home of John Wedgewood at Westbury near Bristol. Coleridge's stay in Shrewsbury was just over two weeks before being offered £150 a year from Thomas Wedgwood to give up his position and study poetry and philosophy. Charles Darwin worshipped at the church until he was eight years of age when his mother died in 1817. The whole building was rebuilt on its present site in 1839-40 by local architect, John Carline, Jnr[3] with money provided by George the First's government.{{cn|date=October 2014}} The town plan of 1882 shows it had a small courtyard, which was removed when the High Street was widened, and that it seated 350 people. In 1885 its present stone façade was made designed by another local architect, A.B. Deakin.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Unitarian Church, Shrewsbury|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-457374-unitarian-church-shrewsbury-|work=British Listed Buildings|accessdate=23 July 2013}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Holmes|first=Richard|title=Coleridge Early Visions|year=1990|publisher=Penguin|isbn=0 14 012440 3|page=178}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|last=Pevsner|first=Nikolaus|title=The Buildings of England: Shropshire|year=2005|publisher=Yale University Press|page=534|isbn=0-300-12083-4}} External links
