Description
Newland Chambers is a former Congregational church, dating to 1840. It was designed by James Fenton of Chelmsford. The building is constructed of grey brick with stone dressings, featuring a hipped and gabled slate roof with iron finials and a single gable stack. It is characterised by Early English architectural details. A stepped string course, machicolated eaves, a shouldered coped south gable, clasping pilasters, and buttresses are present.
The building has two storeys and three bays. Pointed arched windows feature glazing bars. The south front has a slightly projecting centre with shallow gabled buttresses and a loggia of three bays, with moulded arches, round piers, and foliage capitals. Below the loggia are three windows, and a pointed arched doorway in each end, with a window beyond on either side. Above, there are three large windows with intersecting tracery and a trefoil light, flanked by single smaller windows.
East and west sides feature a hipped projection to the south with a single window above. The east side has buttresses and, to the left, a chamfered pointed doorway with a hoodmould above, and a window to the right. To the right are four bays, each with two windows on each floor.
The interior, refitted in the late 20th century, includes a 19th-century dogleg staircase with turned newels.
