Aenon Baptist Chapel

A Baptist chapel dated 1851, designed by James Green of Todmorden and subsequently altered. The chapel is constructed of sandstone ashlar to the front and sides, with the rear of coursed squared sandstone, and has hipped slate roofs. It is built on a rectangular plan, with a small projecting wing on the left.

The building is of classical design, with two storeys over a basement which is treated as a plinth. The front elevation is symmetrical with three bays, the central bay projecting slightly. The ground floor features channelled rustication, a plain band, raised quoins to the upper floor, a string course to the frieze inscribed "ANNO DOMINI AENON MDCCCLI", and modillioned eaves with a moulded cornice. A central sunk area at basement level originally contained a porch surmounted by a statue, flanked by flights of steps leading to the central and outer doorways. The ground floor has round-headed openings: arcaded windows with radiating glazing bars and panelled aprons to the centre, doorways with panelled double doors and cavetto surrounds in the outer bays, all with stepped voussoirs and keystones. The first floor features a tripartite window with a tetrastyle Corinthian architrave, pilasters, engaged columns, a balustraded pseudo-balcony, and a pediment to the central light. Segmental-headed windows are positioned above the ground-floor openings, with shouldered architraves, moulded sills, panelled aprons and keystones. The projecting wing on the left has segmental-headed openings: a doorway to the front, a window above, and one window in each side, with simplified shouldered architraves. The return wall to the right has a mix of square-headed, round-headed, and segmental-headed windows. The rear elevation incorporates paired windows at basement level flanked by doorways, a tripartite window at ground floor, a Venetian window at first floor, and four square attic windows. The interior was not inspected at the time of listing.
