Description
Bingley Baptist Church is a Baptist church built around 1874. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh blue-slate roof. The church is designed in the Gothic Revival style, specifically in the Early English style. The nave includes a stair-tower and a transept, with a prominent square tower on the north-west corner that has three stages and a spire. The top stage of the tower features louvred belfry lancets.
The gable of the nave has two shafted doorways that are accessed by a flight of stone steps. Above these doorways, there are two trefoil-headed lancets and a cinquefoil at the apex. The gable is coped and topped with a finial. To the right, there is a shallow buttress at the junction with the south bay stair-tower, which includes flush-work cinquefoil detailing. The right-hand return of the church has five bays. The first bay features coupled lancets set beneath a sexfoil in the apex of its coped gable, with angle buttresses. The second, third, and fourth bays are articulated by offset buttresses and each contains two tiers of coupled lancets. The fifth bay has a projecting gabled transept with three coupled lancets and a large three-light window with a cinquefoil.
Inside, the church retains a Gothic-style gallery.
