2, Lendal

No. 2 Lendal is a Congregational chapel built in 1816, which has since been converted into a restaurant, shops, and an amusement arcade. The building was altered in 1929 and later modifications were made. It was designed by JP Pritchett and is constructed of orange brick in Flemish bond, with the ground floor at the front rendered. The roof is truncated pyramidal and covered with slate.

The exterior features a two-storey, five-bay front, with the central three bays projecting and topped with a pediment. The main entrance is located beneath a semicircular hood and is flanked by segment-headed fixed light windows. The outer bays contain renewed double doors with segment-headed overlights, and all but the main door are topped with segmental brick arches. The upper floor has round-headed windows with semicircular arches made of rubbed brick, each window featuring three tiers of mullioned four-pane lights. The pediment includes a blind oculus in the tympanum.

At the rear, the building has a basement and two storeys, with five bays and a hemi-domed apse in the three central bays. The apse features round-arched windows on the ground floor, with sunk rectangular panels above. The ground and first floor windows in the flanking bays are also four-pane mullioned lights, with the first-floor windows arranged in two tiers. The ground floor windows have painted stone sills, while the first floor has a painted stone sill band that returns from the side elevation. The left return of the building has two storeys and a basement beneath the rear bays, with five bays that correspond to the windows on the rear elevation. The chapel was closed for worship in 1929.
