EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in religious history - the heretical synod held at Salters Hall Chapel in London during the year 1720. The image beautifully captures the interior of this iconic chapel, with figures seated in pews and standing both in the gallery and around the pulpit. As we delve into this snapshot from centuries ago, we witness a scene that embodies non-conformism within Christianity. The individuals present here are Protestant Dissenters who chose to worship outside of mainstream religious establishments. Their attire reflects the fashion of eighteenth-century England, adding an intriguing layer to this historical tableau. Salters Hall Chapel itself stands as a symbol of religious freedom amidst a city steeped in tradition. Located on St Swithins Lane, it served as a sanctuary for those seeking an alternative path within Protestantism. This engraving not only offers us insight into its architecture but also provides glimpses into daily life within its walls. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome masterpiece allows us to appreciate how dissenting voices shaped religion during this era. It reminds us that even within established institutions like churches, there were spaces where diverse beliefs could be explored and celebrated. Let this remarkable print transport you back to a time when faith was evolving and individuality triumphed over
