About Octagon Chapel, Liverpool
Octagon Chapel, Liverpool was a Nonconformist place of worship in Temple Court, Liverpool, Merseyside. It is no longer standing, having been demolished in 1820 after its purchase by Liverpool Corporation. A fire police station was subsequently erected on the site.
Opened in 1763, the church was established by members of the Benn’s Garden and Kaye Street congregations, with Thomas Bentley playing a leading role. Joseph Finney designed its distinctive eight-sided building. Nicholas Clayton and Hezekiah Kirkpatrick served as its first ministers, while worship followed an experimental, non-denominational form known as the Liverpool Liturgy. Philip Holland and Richard Godwin prepared this service, which John Seddon edited for publication in 1763. It attracted controversy and less support than expected. In 1776 the chapel was sold to the Revd John Plumbe, rector of Aughton, and converted into an Anglican church dedicated to St Catherine.
