Description
Stanningley Baptist Church and the attached Minister's House were built in 1827. The structure is made of hammer-dressed stone with Welsh blue-slate roofs and consists of two storeys. The chapel has an almost square plan and features a symmetrical gabled facade with five bays. It has a plinth, a band, and an eaves band that define the pediment gable. The second and fourth bays contain doorways with overlights and cornices supported by brackets. The first, third, and fifth bays, as well as those above, have windows with margin glazing, thin lintels, and slightly projecting sills. A central corniced date plaque is present, and there is an oeil-de-boeuf set in the tympanum. The gable is coped, and the left and right returns have five bays of similar windows on each floor.
The Minister's House is attached and set back to the right, featuring a doorway with monolithic jambs to the left of two bays of windows, all of which are blocked. It has gutter brackets and a coped gable with a tall end stack to the right.
Inside the chapel, there are corner dog-leg stairs with slender turned balusters, a well-crafted raised-and-fielded-panel gallery supported by slender cast-iron columns that are canted at the entrance end, original box pews, and a semi-octagonal pulpit from the mid-19th century with original stairs. The building was unoccupied at the time of the resurvey.
