Former Baptist Chapel And Attached Manse

The former Baptist Chapel, built in 1878, is accompanied by an attached manse from around 1830, linked by a single bay of an earlier chapel house dating back to 1807. The chapel features hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and forms an L-shaped group with the two-storey manse to the left, which has quoins and three bays of sash windows with plain stone surrounds. The doorway is located in the second bay at the junction with the earlier bay, marked by quoins and gutter brackets. The left-hand return wall has a coped gable and three tall corniced stacks along the ridge.

The chapel's front is defined by a pedimented gable and consists of five bays, articulated by channelled quoin pilasters and pilaster strips arranged in a pattern of one, three, and one. The central section features paired arched doorways with archivolte, flanked by two-light arched windows. The first floor has five single arched windows, all with hoodmoulds and retaining margin glazing. Above the central three bays, there is a plaque inscribed "MOUNT ZION BAPTIST CHAPEL AD 1878." The tympanum includes three arched lights and a Lombard frieze. The eaves cornice is supported by moulded brackets. The four-bay return has segmental arched windows on the ground floor and semi-circular arched windows on the first floor, with a canted end beneath a tripartite hipped roof that includes a stack.
