Northgate Church

Northgate Church is a Congregational church built in 1874 by TM Lockwood, with Thomas Richards as the contractor. The church features yellow squared snecked sandstone on the front and brick on the sides and rear, topped with a purple slate roof that has triple rows of fishscale slates. The liturgical west front faces compass east. The building has a hall-nave layout, a south-west spire, and a two-storey office at the east end.

The west front includes a north doorway with stone steps, buttresses, and polished red granite colonnettes with Early English capitals, topped by a moulded arch in the gable. There is a similar doorway in the south-west tower, which has late 20th-century glazed double doors made of three panes in a timber frame. The west window features five lancets that rise to the center, with four small lancets below it in the lobby. The gable is coped and contains three louvred lancets.

The tower is buttressed and has three stages, with paired flat-topped slit-windows in the second stage and a lancet beneath an arched recess in the third stage. The tower culminates in an octagonal belfry with a louvred lancet bell-opening on each side, topped by a stone spire and weathervane. The north face has a stone west bay with a shoulder-arched window and stone buttresses. There are six bays of Flemish bond brick with a plinth and stone sill band, featuring paired lancets with cream brick voussoirs and stone-dressed brick buttresses. The east end is blank with a simple brick office that has a lean-to roof. The south side mirrors the north side with six brick bays, and the tower's south side has a shoulder-arched window in the first stage, with the second and third stages matching the front.

Inside, there is an inserted suspended ceiling and replaced furnishings, but the original roof structure is said to be intact, although it is now hidden.
