Description

Wistanswick United Reformed Church is a chapel built in the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed from dressed red sandstone featuring herringbone tooling and has a two-span plain tile roof. The building consists of two parallel ranges of three bays each, positioned at right angles to the road. It has a coved eaves cornice that returns to the gable ends and a brick ridge stack located at the rear of the south range.

The front of the church features two gables and a pair of small-paned cast-iron round-arched windows with stone cills and raised arches supported by small corbels. There are two gabled porches, each containing a four-panelled door on the inner face. The church is enclosed by a wall and a cast-iron gate that leads to a small forecourt. Additionally, there are small-paned cast-iron round-arched windows on the north and south sides, similar to those at the front.

At the rear of the south range, there is a small manse that has a 20th-century door and an inserted 20th-century three-light metal casement window. Although the interior was not inspected, it was noted that there are a pair of central cast-iron plain columns with moulded capitals. The design features a straight joint between the two main blocks, indicating that the church was built in two phases, although stylistic similarities suggest that the construction of both phases occurred in quick succession.
