Description
Dovedale Baptist Church is a Baptist chapel built in 1906. It features undressed flint with brick dressings and a slate roof adorned with red tile cresting. The church has a T-plan layout with projections at the angles. The central entrance is gabled and has a four-centred head, flanked by two-light windows, and a seven-light window above, which includes two diagonal king mullions that rise through the gable as pinnacles. The windows display free Perpendicular tracery, and there is a top traceried panel with gargoyles.
To the left, there is a lower projecting porch with a pyramidal roof and diagonal buttresses, featuring a gabled segmental-headed entrance with a fleuron and a three-light window. The tower on the right has a brick base with angle pilasters and short diagonal buttresses. Its entrance mirrors that of the porch, and it includes a three-light square-headed lancet window and three-light square-headed bell openings at the top. The tower is capped with a cornice that has gargoyles and a battled parapet, and it has a recessed louvred top with swept diagonal buttresses, deep eaves, and an ogival roof.
The returns are similar, featuring two tiers of one-three-one light windows and gables, with flanking recessed bays that have parapets, two-light windows, and segmental-headed entrances, along with four-light windows above. Attached to the rear is a church hall that includes five-light gable windows and a narthex to the north. Inside, there is a large crossing space supported by rough granite piers, with a boarded roof that has ribs across the openings to the projections. The pews are arranged in semi-circular rows facing the west organ and pulpit, while the east end has 20th-century partitioning.
