Description
The Baptist Church, built around 1868, is a brick chapel with stucco detailing and a vermiculated stucco plinth, topped with a Welsh slate roof and a roughcast stack at the rear gable. It is a single-storey building featuring a three-window range of round-headed single mullion windows, which have glazing bars and are set in moulded stucco architraves with springers and keyblocks. These windows are flanked by stucco pilasters and a group of three similar windows. The church has an entablature with a modillioned cornice leading to a pediment with dentilled eaves and a circular light in a stucco architrave, which includes keyblocks and an inscription.
The central entrance consists of paired 20th-century plank doors with cast-iron tendril hinges and plain fanlights in chamfered wood frames. The doorcases are made of stucco and feature linked moulded arches with keyblocks on pilasters. On the left side, there are plank doors in a chamfered frame beneath a stucco screen with a keyblock, along with round-headed windows with single mullions under semi-circular arches. The right side and rear of the building are roughcast, featuring three 2/2 sash windows, a blocked opening in the gable, and additional 2/2 sash windows on the ground floor.
