Description
Church House was built as the Church Institute between 1871 and 1873, designed by architects Andrews and Pepper. It features a large and boldly detailed facade in a free interpretation of French Gothic style. The building has a five-bay front made of ashlar sandstone, rising three storeys high, with a prominent second-floor pointed arcade that includes two-light shafted plate traceried windows. The outer spandrels have projecting heads in roundels, and there are corbelled shafts that support heavy carved corbel-bases intended for statues. Above, large pinnacled canopies are present, along with a moulded bracketed cornice and a pierced parapet. The central tall gabled dormer is flanked by pinnacles and has additional crowning pinnacles. The mezzanine first floor features mullioned windows, and there are gargoyles at the end bays. The ground floor has flanking shafted portals, with a modern shop front inserted between them.
