Congregational Church

The Congregational Church, built in 1844 and designed by architect William Flint of Leicester, is a notable structure set back behind a church yard. It is constructed of gault brick with stone dressings and features rusticated quoins. The building has a painted modillion cornice and a parapet, which includes a central panel adorned with a moulded scroll ornament inscribed with "Independent Chapel."

This two-storey church has five windows, with the three central upper windows divided by engaged Corinthian columns and flanked by Corinthian pilasters. The windows are round-arched. The ground floor features a tetrastyle portico supported by Greek Ionic columns in antis, leading up to the entrance via six stone steps. Above the portico is a painted entablature with a dentil cornice. The ground floor windows are framed with shaped pediments and have sashes with glazing bars and moulded painted architraves. The facade facing Bowden Lane has six windows, with the first-floor windows being round-arched and separated by a band at the impost height.

Inside, the church has a panelled balcony that curves around three sides, supported by long scrolled brackets and columns with composite capitals and fluted shafts on tall polygonal plinths. At the east end, there is a moulded arch with a modillion cornice and pilasters above the organ and pulpit. The interior also features six-panelled doors.
