Description

Zion United Reform Church is a church built in 1819 by Mr. Bennison. It is constructed of white brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys and three main bays, flanked by lower two-storey single-bay wings that contain the stairs. The church has a plinth and a sill band, with three round-headed sash windows featuring radial glazing and glazing bars set in round-arched recesses. There is a first-floor band with three similar sashes in matching recesses above. A moulded cornice leads to a low pediment that bears a circular tablet inscribed with "ZION 1819."

Each flanking wing has a ground-floor folding door with six raised and fielded panels beneath a fanlight with radial glazing, and a first-floor round-headed sash with radial glazing and glazing bars in recessed rounded surrounds. The building is topped with ramped coped parapets.

Inside, the church remains completely unaltered except for the addition of an organ in 1896, made by Foster and Andrews of Hull. The interior features a balcony with raised and fielded panelling around three sides, supported by slender cast-iron columns that are spaced to appear equidistant from the Minister's desk. The church is equipped with box-pews in raised and fielded panelling. The flanking wings contain cut-string stairs with stick balusters and ramped and wreathed handrails, along with a short stair leading to the pulpit. This church is recognized as the best-preserved early 19th-century chapel in North Humberside.
