Lytham United Reformed Church, with Attached Garden Wall and Gate Piers

The Lytham United Reformed Church, originally a Congregational church, was built between 1861 and 1862 by W.F.Poulton of Reading, with an addition at the north end dated 1910. It is constructed of rock-faced yellow sandstone with red sandstone dressings, featuring steeply-pitched slate roofs with fishscale bands and cockscomb ridges.

The church is rectangular, running parallel to Bannister Street, and has a gabled south front incorporating a spire at the south-east corner. The main south window is a large, two-centred arched window with five lights and tracery. A gabled porch is positioned to the left, with a two-centred arched doorway featuring a moulded surround, a nailhead band to the head, and a polychrome extrados band that intersects and runs out to the gable coping. To the right, a slender, buttressed tower has a doorway in the front, leading to the gallery staircase, and another on the right-hand side, accessing the church itself. The tower's second stage is elongated, steeply-weathered, and tapers to an octagonal section, forming the base of the spire, which is surrounded by an arcade of cusped lancets under steep gablets. The east side has five narrow bays separated by full-height buttresses, with a lancet window in each bay, and a corbel table to the eaves. The roof has very small, lead-clad gablets.

The north addition, containing vestries and a meeting room, is single-storied and five bays (with the fifth bay set back). A porch is situated in the third bay, featuring a segmental-headed doorway with Perpendicular tracery in the overlight, and a gable bearing the inscription "1910." Square-headed windows with Perpendicular tracery (3, 2, 2, and 2 lights) are also present. The north gable wall has a large canted bay window of 1, 3, and 1 traceried lights, all with stained glass in a debased Art Nouveau style.

Inside, the church features a gallery at the south end and a semi-circular organ gallery at the north end. It has an arch-braced roof and original numbered benches with brass umbrella brackets.

A garden wall, attached to the south-east corner of the church and extending along North Clifton Street, links with the former Sunday School. The wall has a canted corner gateway, with low walls and chamfered coping (former railings are missing). Gothic gate piers mark the corner. The wall is included as part of a complete set.
