Description

Christchurch Durham hall and offices is a Presbyterian church, later used by Independent and Congregational congregations, built in 1751. The building is constructed of dark red brick with a sandstone plinth and rendered ashlar dressings, topped with a concrete tile roof. It is two storeys high with two bays, and includes a small one-storey porch at the left leading to a basement. Wide steps lead to a renewed central doorway, flanked by round-headed sash windows with glazing bars set within round brick arches, featuring projecting stone sills. Smaller windows of the same design are located above. A small rectangular perforated iron ventilator is in the gable peak. The left return side showcases three large round-headed windows similar to those on the front.

The interior contains ground floor offices and a vestry with fielded panelling. The entrance hall has beaded panelling, and the front stair features a turned newel with an urn-shaped finial, a grip handrail, and fat square balusters on the first flight. A rear spiral staircase, made by the St. Pancras Ironwork Co. of London, is constructed of Gothic-style cast iron. The building is included on the list for its group value.
