Description
Clayton West Baptist Chapel and Sunday School is a Baptist chapel and Sunday school built in 1840 and 1860. It features a tooled stone facade and hammer-dressed stone sides, topped with a hipped slate roof, part of which is covered in bitumen. The building has paired stone brackets supporting the gutter and three round-arched windows, each with eight panes, key blocks, and impost blocks. There are two symmetrically placed double doors with four panels and square heads. The two windows and the door on the left side serve the chapel. Above the doors, there are two tablets inscribed with "BAPTIST CHAPEL AD MDCCLXL" and "BAPTIST SCHOOL AD MDCCCLX." The rear elevation is similar and has a later single-storey extension, along with a 20th-century brick extension on the right side. The interior of the chapel is described as plain but original, featuring pews that are focused on the pulpit.
