Milton Congregational Church

The Milton Congregational Church was built in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and a pitched slate roof. The church comprises a nave, aisles, transepts, and a north-west tower.

The west front features two octagonal turrets with pyramidal roofs, a coped gable with a cruciform finial, and a two-light window with reticulated tracery in the gable end. Three principal two-centred arched windows are flanked by square, blind-traceried panels; the centre window is three-light with cusped bar tracery and three inscribed sexfoils, a pointed hoodmould, and two crocheted pinnacles. The flanking windows are two-light with cusped bar tracery and one inscribed trefoil each. The portal has planked double doors with elaborate iron hinges, set within a pointed arch featuring three orders of colonettes with foliate capitals, moulded voussoirs, and a central band of foliage. A pointed and crocheted gable sits above the doorway, flanked by busts of angels in high relief. A blind pointed and cusped arcade is located on either side. A low extension to the south has a steep pitched hipped roof, a low parapet, and four small ogee lights; a planked door is set on the south side, with ornamental iron hinges and a shouldered surround with one order of foliage moulding.

The five-storey tower has two strings, an eaves cornice, and a parapet. A stair tower in the north-east corner rises above the parapet and is capped with an octagonal pyramid roof. The top stage of the tower has massive pointed arched bell openings, with three-lights per side, each light cusped and with reticulated drop tracery below. The north side of the tower features single-lights and a two-centred arched door with ornamental iron hinges, moulded voussoirs, including one roll of foliage moulding, and a hoodmould. The four-bay nave has clerestory windows with three-lights and reticulated bar tracery. The aisles are very low with small cusped lancets. The transept terminals have two windows each, with three lights and geometrical bar tracery, an oculus with matching tracery, and a tiny two-light window in the gable.
