Description
Duffield Baptist Church and the attached house were built in 1830 and 1877, respectively. The chapel is constructed of coursed squared gritstone and red brick, with gritstone dressings, and features a hipped Welsh slate roof with two lateral stacks and a moulded stone eaves cornice. The building is two storeys tall and has an L-shaped plan.
The north elevation serves as the chapel entrance and consists of three bays made of brick with stone quoins and sill bands. The central doorway has a moulded stone surround, a date plaque above, and a cornice hoodmould supported by heavy moulded consoles. The double doors have raised and fielded panels and are flanked by round-arched windows with moulded stone surrounds. Above these, two similar windows are linked by a recessed panel topped with an outer arch featuring a moulded stone surround. There is also a similar window above the door, which has an outer arch. All windows contain 20th-century glazing.
On the south elevation of the chapel, there are three tall round-arched windows with moulded stone surrounds set within a larger round-arched blind panel. The attached house forms the L-shaped range behind the chapel and has two tiers of plain round-arched windows. Low walls topped with iron railings are attached to the north and west sides, enclosing the burial ground.
