Description
Blenheim Baptist Church, now used as offices, was built between 1863 and 1864 by architect Cuthbert Brodrick. The church is constructed from coursed squared gritstone and features a slate roof, showcasing a Gothic Revival style. It has a nave and aisles that share a single roof without a clerestory, along with transepts and a northwest tower. The nave windows consist of two tiers of two-light lancets set within rectangular brick panels. The transepts are adorned with tripartite lancets that have cusped heads, placed in brick arched recesses. The western end of the church features large traceried three-light windows, flanked by lancets, and a gabled portal below. To the left of the portal is the northwest tower, which includes corner buttresses and small gables over the belfry. The tower culminates in a square plan slated spire, which has a lead-clad stage halfway up with lucarnes and a lead-clad finial. At the eastern end, there is a small polygonal apse. The interior has not been inspected.
