Description

The New Testament Church of God, with its attached boundary wall, was built in 1848 in the Gothic Revival style by William Flockton. It is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs.

The church’s exterior features a plinth, buttresses topped with gabled pinnacles and blind lancets, crenellated parapets, and gables. Windows are mostly untraceried single lancets with roll-moulded surrounds. The layout includes a chancel, nave, and a west tower with flanking porches. The single bay chancel has a triple lancet to the east, a single window to the north, and a 19th-century brick lean-to addition with a slate roof to the south-east. The nave has six lancet windows on each side. The four-stage west tower has angle buttresses, string courses, a corbel table, and a blind arcaded parapet, with a roll-moulded doorway, lancet windows, and a blind arcade on various sides. Lean-to porches flank the tower, each with a single lancet. A traceried panelled door is on the north side.

Inside, the chancel features a moulded arch with double round shafts and a hoodmould. It has a gabled roof and a triple window with patterned stained glass at the east end, along with a platform and steps. The nave maintains an arch braced queen post roof and a square-ended gallery with Gothic tracery and cast-iron clustered columns. Half-glazed doors with Gothic tracery are at the west end. Framed, panelled enclosures form offices and a vestry at the east end. The west porch contains a stone dogleg stair with iron stick balusters and a ramped wooden handrail. Fittings include a late 19th-century octagonal font with a clustered stem and plain benches, some with Gothic-style ends. Memorials include a marble tablet dated 1874 and a Gothic-style marble tablet with a portrait medallion, dated 1897.

Outside, a dwarf boundary wall of coursed squared stone with moulded coping incorporates two pairs of squat ashlar gate piers with pyramidal caps, along with similar corner piers.
