Description
Baptist Church is a mid-18th century building that was enlarged in 1839 and has 19th and 20th-century extensions. It is constructed of red brick, with some areas of rubble, and features a slate roof with dogtooth eaves. The church has two storeys and a north gabled entrance front that consists of three bays. The central bay contains a single tripartite sash window with glazing bars at the top, flanked by single doorways that have decorative overlights. Above these doorways are two additional glazing bar sashes, and all openings are topped with rendered wedge lintels. At the apex of the gable is a rendered plaque inscribed "GBC 1839".
On the east side, there are two arched casements with a similarly arched small casement to the left, and above them are four glazing bar sashes. The south wall features two larger arched casements and a single small casement to the right, with four glazing bar sashes above. Adjacent to this wall are 16 slate headstones from the 18th and 19th centuries. At the rear, there are later 19th and 20th-century extensions. The interior includes box pews, a panelled west gallery, and wrought iron altar rails.
