Description
The United Reformed Church, built in 1868 as a Congregational Church, is a Gothic Revival style building located on Cliff Road in Hornsea. It features light brown brick with red brick dressings and a slate roof. The church has a three-stage south-west tower topped with a broach spire, a continuous three-bay nave, and a two-bay chancel, along with a west porch.
The tower includes a south door set under a shouldered lintel in a pointed opening, which has a blank sexfoil and two roundels in the tympanum. The second stage of the tower features paired lancets with a detached central colonette beneath an octofoil window in a pointed opening. The belfry has paired lancets with paired central colonnettes that have annuli and carved capitals, and there is a central clock under a gablet. The broach spire is adorned with a moulded band and a foliated finial.
The west porch has a double-chamfered plinth and buttresses with offsets, leading to a pointed opening. It contains double boarded west doors beneath a five-light pointed window with Geometrical plate tracery. The belfry features three stepped lancets with louvres.
The nave has a chamfered plinth and buttresses with offsets. The central bay is highlighted by a three-light pointed window with Geometrical plate tracery under a gable, flanked by paired trefoil-headed lancets with oculi above in pointed openings. The building is finished with a dentilled brick eaves cornice and ridge cresting. The transepts have two-light pointed windows to the east and west with Geometrical tracery, and a large octofoil window in the gable.
Inside, there is a west gallery that is now blocked, and round piers with decorated capitals supporting the transepts.
