Baptist Church

Baptist Church, built in 1913 by F.B. Andrews for the Baptist Chapel Trustees, is located on Yardley Road in Acocks Green. This building is constructed of red brick with freestone dressings and features plain tile roofs. The layout includes a broad nave, narrow aisles, transepts, a short apsidal chancel, and an east entrance.

The east front is notable for its two large octagonal turrets topped with louvred bellcotes that have cusped bell-openings between thin piers, rising to a shallow domed top. Between the turrets is a large, deeply recessed Perpendicular window, with the turrets acting as jambs. Below this window is a porch with a pent roof and a wide segmental arch; both the window and porch arches are deeply moulded and adorned with fleurons. The wings flanking the turrets have hipped roofs and 4-light windows beneath the eaves. The north and south sides feature aisles with lean-to roofs and segment arch windows, with similar clerestorey windows above. A fleche with bracketed eaves and a snarl dome is positioned on the ridge of the roof.

Inside, the church has exposed brick walls and narrow 2-bay arcades with double-chamfered 2-centred arches, as well as larger crossing arches leading to the transepts. The clerestorey is present, and there is a stone chancel arch. The wide nave features an arch-braced roof supported on corbels, with a similar roof design in the chancel.
