Description
The Stone Craft Centre, formerly known as the Lightcliffe United Reformed Church, is a Grade II listed building located on the north side of Leeds Road in Brighouse. Built in 1871 by the architects Lockwood and Mawson for Sir Titus Salt, this Gothic Revival structure features hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof.
The building has a prominent tower with offset angle buttresses, pinnacles, and an octagonal stone spire. The west door is set between buttresses and has a two-centred arched head. The tower also includes a clock with two faces and a belfry formed by coupled lancets. The west end of the nave is flanked by tall, offset crocketed pinnacled buttresses and features a large window with a pointed arch and geometric tracery with a cinquefoil design. The nave has side aisles consisting of four bays of Early English windows with pointed heads and plate tracery, set between offset buttresses. There are lancet windows in the clerestorey, while the transepts have offset angle buttresses, steeply pitched coped gables, and large windows with geometric tracery. The porch is similarly designed, and the lower shallow chancel includes a rose window and a small trefoil light at the apex.
The interior has been significantly remodeled, but the first floor still retains open arcades to the aisles, which now serve as workshops and craft stalls.
