Highfield United Reformed Church

Highfield United Reformed Church, formerly known as Rock Lane West Congregational Church, is a United Reform church built between 1870 and 1871 by David Walker. It is constructed from rock-faced white Storeton stone with ashlar dressings and features Welsh slate roofs. The church has a southwest tower and spire, a nave with two aisles, and shallow transepts. The west entrance includes a door with short paired shafts and flanking windows, topped by a four-light Decorated window. A polygonal side chapel is located to the northwest.

The tower is adorned with clasping buttresses and short paired shafts with foliate capitals, leading to a deep moulded arch at the south door. Above this, tall lancet windows are present, followed by paired louvred lights in the bell chamber, with gablets forming the spire's brooch. The aisles feature three-light Decorated windows, while the transepts have four-light Decorated windows. To the east, there are a hall and vestry with an apsidal east end, suggesting a chancel. The ground floor has squared mullioned windows, with two-light Decorated windows beneath gablets above.

Inside, the space has been modified by an inserted suspended ceiling. There is an arcade of three bays supported by clustered cast iron shafts with foliate capitals. The eastern arch behind the sanctuary, which formerly housed an organ, is now partially blocked. A western gallery is also present. The north wall features stained glass windows by J. Capronnier of Brussels, dated 1876 and 1889, showcasing a highly pictorial technique. Additionally, there is a window in the Pre-Raphaelite style depicting Moses and St. John beside Christ, dated 1876, though the central figure has been replaced due to war damage. A complex series of lecture halls and vestries is located to the east of the church.
