Description
Carey Baptist Chapel is a building originally constructed in 1826 as a chapel for Methodists of the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion, and it has since been altered. The chapel is made of brick with a scored stucco facade and features a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with a short lean-to extension at the west end and a gable facing the road. The structure is two storeys tall and has a symmetrical facade with three windows, corner pilasters, an impost band at the ground floor, a sill-band at the first floor, and a gable that is treated as a pediment.
The ground floor includes three doorways: the central doorway is segmental-headed with panelled double-doors beneath a two-light fanlight, while the outer doorways are round-headed with panelled doors under fanlights featuring radiating glazing bars. All doorways have moulded surrounds with keystones. The first floor has round-headed windows, each with coloured margin panes and moulded surrounds that include imposts and keystones. The pediment features a central tablet inscribed with "CAREY BAPTIST," flanked by circular vents. The side walls originally had four tall segmental-headed windows with coloured margin panes, but the fourth window on the south side is now covered by a 20th-century addition.
Inside, the former horseshoe gallery has been reduced to a curved gallery at the east end, supported by slender cast-iron columns and featuring a panelled front. The interior also includes a dentilled cornice, a panelled ceiling, moulded window surrounds, and a Corinthian pilastered architrave at the west end opening, which has a modillioned cornice and a frieze inscribed with "ONE LORD ONE FAITH ONE BAPTISM."
