Description

Lingards Mission Church was built in 1851 and is constructed from hammer-dressed stone. The building features reducing diagonal buttresses at each corner and an ashlar plinth. It has a pitched slate roof made of alternating pairs of plain and serrated slates, with a stone ridge and square ashlar footstones. The church has a corbelled ashlar cornice at the gutter and coped gables.

On the west side, there is an ashlar bellcote with coping and a roll top, although it does not contain a bell. To the east, there is a seven-sided tubular finial. The south elevation includes stone porches at each end, both with pitched slate roofs and coped gables. The doorways are framed with ashlar surrounds and pointed arched heads, featuring chamfered reveals. The western doorway has a hood mould above it. Each porch has side windows with chamfered reveals and hood moulds.

The main elevation has three windows, each consisting of three slender lights with pointed arched heads, chamfered surrounds, and mullions, topped with deep hood moulds. The windows are adorned with diamond pattern leaded glazing. Above the inner door of the west porch, there is an inscription that reads: "LINGARDS CHURCH SCHOOL ERECTED A.D. MDCCCLI BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE WILLIAM EARL OF DARTMOUTH WAS CONVEYED IN TRUST TO THE MINISTER AND CHAPEL WARDENS OF SLAITHWAITE CUM LINGARDS AND UNITED TO THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE EDUCATION OF THE POOR IN THE PRINCIPLES OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH THE REV. CHARLES AUGUSTUS HULBERT M.A. JOHN DRANSFIELD AND JOHN VARLEY First Trustees."

The north elevation mirrors the south with three windows, and there are single windows on each side, one of which is blocked. These windows also have pointed arched heads and deep sills, with hood moulds above. The east and west elevations feature a central six-light window with a transom, where the top two central lights are taller. These lights have pointed arched heads, chamfered reveals, and mullions, topped with a hood mould that has round stops.
