Former Union Chapel and Congregational Chapel

The Former Union Chapel and Congregational Chapel is a Grade II listed building constructed of rock-faced coursed gritstone with ashlar dressings, topped with slate roofs. It features an almost square plan with a projecting entrance porch from a hexagonal clerestoried lantern. The structure includes a two-stage tower, gabled transepts, and a short nave. On the south side, there is a two-storey extension with a lower wing at the rear.

The main elevation faces east and is dominated by the large projecting porch. At the center, there is a prominent double pointed-arch window in a gabled front, flanked by angled buttresses topped with crocketed spires. Smaller four-centred arch windows are set into the angled walls on each side, above which is a decorative frieze. Flying buttresses rise to support the lantern, which has three gabled faces, each featuring a large traceried pointed arch window. The square tower rises behind the lantern and has short gabled transepts extending from its sides. The tower is adorned with four clock faces and has crocketed pinnacles at each corner. To the north, a single-storey extension has three square windows, while to the south, a two-storey extension includes a ground floor entrance and three groups of two first-floor windows. This extension continues to the rear as a single storey for the full length of the nave.

Inside, the building has undergone some later partitioning, but retains original features such as two entrances to anterooms, an inserted screen with double doors leading to the main hall, stone columns, round arches, attached columns, a ribbed vault, and traceried wall panels. The first-floor galleries have been partitioned off, and the lantern windows contain red and yellow patterned glass, now used as a school room. The tower houses the clock mechanism.
