Description
The United Reformed Church, originally built as a Congregational chapel in 1812, is a brick structure with ashlar dressings and a slate roof, featuring a right-angle plan. The building has windows on two levels arranged in a symmetrical three-window range. It includes a plinth, an upper sill band, and a top frieze with coping. The round-headed entrance is accessed by three steps and features an architrave with deep panelled reveals, topped by a fanlight with radial glazing bars above paired three-panel doors. The round-headed windows have impost blocks and small-paned iron glazing with opening panes, with those on the lower level having sills. A top roundel is adorned with an enriched iron grille. The right return of the building has a similar three-window arrangement, with lower-level windows featuring segmental heads. Inside, the entrance from the porch includes a large fanlight and stairs leading to the galleries. The front gallery dates from 1815, while the side galleries were added between 1824 and 1837.
