Description
The United Reformed Church, formerly a Congregational church, was built in 1877 and designed by C.O. Ellison. It features uncoursed freestone with a Welsh slate roof and is styled in Gothic architecture. The church has a south-west tower, a single-span main body of the chapel, and gabled offices to the north.
The south elevation includes a recessed porch with paired entrance arches supported by polished granite shafts, flanked by small trefoiled windows under a continuous hoodmould. There are doorways to the east and west within the porch. Above the porch is a stepped triple window, with shafts that support a moulded arch. The tower is located to the right, with the porch set into the south wall between flying buttresses. The doorway has paired shafts, and the tower features lancet windows in its first and second stages, topped with paired lights in the bell chamber. The tall angle pinnacles on the parapet are accented by stressed gabled decorations that rise above the bell chamber.
The main body of the chapel is two-storeyed, with a canted porch to the west. It is divided by shallow buttresses into three bays, each bay containing a trefoiled window on both floors.
