Quinta Congregational Church

Quinta Congregational Church is a Congregational Church built in 1858 for Thomas Barnes, with later additions and alterations. The church is constructed of rock-faced sandstone ashlar and features banded slate roofs with coped verges and ornamental cresting. The building includes a nave, chancel, a south-west steeple, a south porch, a north aisle, and a vestry, all designed in the Decorated style.

The nave is buttressed in six bays and has two-light windows with mouchettes in the three eastern bays on the south side. The third bay from the west features a wide gabled porch with ornamental wrought-iron gates leading to a pointed outer doorway, and a decorated-style window to the left. The west window consists of three cusped lights with mouchettes above, and there is a pointed doorway to the right.

The south-west steeple is flush with the nave and consists of four stages plus a belfry and spire. It has a cusped lancet window on the second stage facing west. The open octagonal belfry features square-headed openings with cusped tracery at the top, surmounted by a stone spire with a weathervane.

The lean-to north aisle is buttressed in five bays and has windows similar to those in the nave, along with a prominent gabled eaves dormer in the east bay. There is a two-light window with Y-tracery above the lean-to building that connects the aisle with the vestry, which was built in 1893 and has a square plan with a hipped roof and a plain corbel table. The short one-bay chancel features a roundel with mouchettes on the east wall and broad cusped lancets on the north and south sides. Decorated iron crosses are present on the west gable of the nave and on the porch, and were likely formerly located on the east gables of the nave and chancel.

Inside, the nave has an arch-braced roof in six bays and a pointed double-chamfered chancel arch. The pews, font, and other fittings date from 1928. There is also a monument, a tablet dated 1908, dedicated to Thomas Barnes, the founder and builder of the church in 1858.
