Newcastle Congregational Church

Newcastle Congregational Church is a church built in 1859 and restored in 1990. It is constructed of buff brick with broad bands of blue stone dressings and features a slate roof in the Decorated style. The main range has a thin turret on the right side. The front facing the street is highlighted by a large rose window with stone spokes, flanked by tall stepped projecting buttresses. Below the rose window is a triple entrance arcade, with the central entrance supported by pairs of shafts. Above this are hood moulds and mouldings that rise to points just below the rose window. To the left, there is a far-projecting buttress, balanced by an octagonal staircase turret on the right, which has small lancet windows and walls that continue into a broach spire. The sides of the church feature tall 2-light windows with buttresses in between. A narrow clerestory with continuous glazing and curving mullions creates an undulating rhythm. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to retain original fittings, although part of it is screened off.
