Unitarian publishing in Britain goes back as far as 1791 with the founding of the Unitarian Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and the Practice of Virtue by the Distribution of Books. The name Lindsey Press was adopted at the beginning of the twentieth century reflecting the significance of the Unitarian theologian Theophilus Lindsey (1723-1808) for whom the chapel was built in Essex Street, London, England, on the site where Essex Hall (headquarters of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches) stands today.

The Lindsey Press publishes works reflecting liberal religious thought, Unitarian history, and worship material. Today the Lindsey Press is overseen, on behalf of the General Assembly, by a six-member panel. The panel is always ready to consider suggestions for new publications and can also provide advice – and possibly a financial loan – to those planning to publish comparable material themselves.
