Description
Moorgreen United Reformed Church is a late 18th-century brick chapel with additional rooms at the back, featuring hipped and gable slate roofs. The chapel has a square layout and was established on land donated to the congregation by Earl Cowper in 1772. The front of the building includes a central entrance flanked by later added projecting foyers, each topped with a gable. The chapel has some replacement casements, and the window openings are fitted with stone sills and stone lintels, featuring enlarged central voussoirs. At the rear, there are vertical sliding sash windows, some with 8 over 12 lights, also with stone sills and brick segmental arches. Inside, the ground floor fixtures are mostly from the 19th century and include an organ made by local builder Wragg and two wall-mounted memorials from the 20th century. An upper gallery, supported by Doric columns, contains ramped pews dating from the late 18th century, likely built at the same time as the chapel.
