Somerset Road United Reformed Church And Attached Sunday School

The Somerset Road United Reformed Church and attached Sunday School is a Presbyterian church, now functioning as a United Reformed church, built around 1910. It features coursed and squared rubble in small blocks, with darker principal stone contrasted by paler dressings and some ashlar. The roof is covered with red plain tiles.

On the entrance front, there is a decorated arched doorway flanked by two-light traceried mullioned windows, with a five-light reticulated traceried window above the door. An octagonal tower at the left corner has an embattled parapet, a band of windows, and louvred bell chamber openings below the parapet. The tower was originally topped with a spire, which was removed around 1950. The tower is balanced by a canted full-height bay at the left corner, featuring a high band of windows just below the eaves. The windows in both the tower and this bay include stained glass with simple Art Nouveau motifs.

The main body of the church is divided into two bays by buttresses, with each bay containing two-light Decorated windows that also feature Art Nouveau motifs in the glazing. There are shallow transepts on either side, and a blind canted apse with a long raking roof.

Inside, there is a narrow entrance lobby with a timber and glazed screen that separates it from the main body of the church, which was repositioned in 1997. The interior has a wide span with a hammerbeam roof and an arched braced arcade. The west wall has three arches, with the central arch opening to the canted apse, which now houses an organ, while the outer arches are blind. The hall or Sunday School is connected to the church by a corridor range and was built at the same time.

The hall features a central arched entrance door flanked by foiled two-light windows, and a wide arched three-light upper window. There are two-window returns, with advanced bays on each side that connect to the corridor range on the inner side and extend to the upper side to accommodate an additional room at the rear of the hall. The windows in the hall include two-light mullioned and transomed designs, some of which retain their original leaded glazing similar to that found in the church.
