Rugby Baptist Church

Rugby Baptist Church is a church built in 1905, designed by George Baines and Sons, in the Perpendicular style. It features red brick with ashlar dressings and slate roofs adorned with decorative ridge tiles. The church has a three-bay nave with double transepts and a chamfered plinth.

The east front, facing the street, includes a central projecting gabled porch with angle buttresses and a crenelated parapet with moulded coping. The porch has a deeply moulded, four-centred arched doorway with double plank doors, ornate iron hinges, and a traceried fanlight above. This is topped by a broad segment-headed window with seven lights, tracery, and a hoodmould, flanked by ashlar pilasters that rise through the gables as finials.

To the right of the porch is a small square single-storey pavilion featuring a three-light traceried window with hoodmould on each face, topped with a pyramidal roof and lead finial. To the left stands a tall square battered tower with clasping buttresses and ashlar bands, topped by a square wooden lantern with a short leaded spire. The tower has a deeply recessed, four-centred arched doorway with double doors, ornate hinges, and a traceried fanlight. Each face of the tower features a small three-light traceried window, a small lancet, and three-light traceried bell openings, all topped with a moulded eaves band decorated with fleurons and gargoyles, along with a crenelated parapet with moulded coping.

Inside, the church has a wide hammer beam roof supported by single square pillars at the transepts. There is an eastern gallery with a glazed screen below. The west end features a moulded four-centred arch and a raised pulpit with an organ case behind. The interior is furnished with fine wooden pews throughout and includes good Art Nouveau style stained glass.
