Pole Moor Baptist Church Sunday School And Adjoining House

The Pole Moor Baptist Church, Sunday School, and adjoining house were built in 1838, though a later report suggests the chapel dates from 1859. The building is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings, rusticated quoins, tie rods and plates, and a pitched stone slate roof with coped gables. Squared and moulded footstones sit on paired carved consoles, and stone brackets support the south elevation. The building is two storeys high with a basement.

The east gable has eight steps leading to a large central doorway with a fanlight and panelled doors, set within an ashlar surround and semi-circular head. Round engaged columns with Ionic capitals support the architrave and cornice above the doorway. Flanking the doorway are single windows with moulded ashlar surrounds, cornices, and pronounced sills resting on small square brackets. The first floor has a central three-light window with a moulded ashlar surround, architrave, pediment, and pronounced sill. Single windows, similarly detailed, are positioned to either side. An ashlar string course runs above the first-floor windows. A plaque in the gable's apex reads "Pole Moor Particular Baptist Chapel Erected in the year of our Lord 1838 'The Hill of Sion Yields a thousand sacred sweets'". The north and south elevations have five single-light windows on the ground floor with pronounced sills, and five single-light windows on the first floor with segmental arched ashlar heads and pronounced sills.

The Sunday School, to the west, has an entrance and seven single-light windows on the ground floor, and seven windows with pronounced sills on the first floor. The dwellings at the west end have a modern porch and one three-light stone mullioned window on both the first and second floors. An adjoining warehouse of the late 19th century is also present.

The chapel was founded in 1788 as a daughter church of Salendine Hook Baptist Chapel.
