Description
Bank Top United Reformed Church was reputedly built around 1840 as a row of six cottages, later used as a school, and converted to a chapel in 1926. The building is constructed of squared and watershot coursed stone with a slate roof.
The exterior features a gable facing the street with a central entrance and flanking windows that have been renewed in their original openings, complete with plain stone lintels. There is a five-window return elevation to the east, where the windows have also been renewed in their original openings, featuring plain stone architraves.
The interior was not inspected. This building is part of the model factory community established by the Ashworth family of New Eagley Mill between 1835 and 1845.
