Longwood Baptist Sunday School and Meeting Rooms

This is a Baptist Sunday school and meeting room, built in 1837. It is constructed from coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has eight bays. A plinth band runs around the base. A gabled porch is located to the right of the centre, with steps leading to a double door. The door is topped with a fanlight within a round-arched, quoined surround, featuring voussoirs aligned with the stone courses and a tabled keystone. An oval plaque above the doorway reads "LONGWOOD BAPTIST SCHOOL AND MEETING HOUSE." The porch gable has moulded kneelers, coping, and a finial. The side returns of the porch feature a round-arched window with imposts and moulded gutter brackets. Ground-floor windows on the meeting house side are sash windows with margin lights and raised cills, with a lintel band running across. First-floor windows are round-arched with horizontal glazing bars, raised cills, and imposts. The building has coved gutter brackets on table, inturned kneelers, and coping. A chimney stack is on the left gable. The right return has a small round-arched window in the gable. The building served as the initial meeting place for the Mechanics' Institute around 1845 and also housed a Reading Room, News Room, and a Discussion Society.
