Description
Little London Baptist Church is a Baptist chapel built around the mid-19th century, with an early 20th-century addition for a Sunday school. The church is constructed of English bond red brick, featuring a stuccoed front and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan and galleries on three sides, with the entrance located on the east front beneath the gallery, and the Sunday school addition at the back.
The exterior is two stories high with a three-bay east front that includes pilasters and a parapet raised at the center, which contains a panel. There are stringcourses at the cill level and round-headed windows framed in moulded architraves with multi-pane cast-iron frames. The wide Doric portico features pilasters and engaged columns that support an entablature, along with panelled double doors. The brick side elevations also have pilasters, stringcourses, and similar round-headed cast-iron windows. The rear of the building includes the early 20th-century brick Sunday school.
Inside, the church has galleries on three sides with panelled fronts, supported by slender columns. There is a nearly complete set of panelled box pews, including those on the galleries. The interior features a panelled rostrum and 20th-century ceilings that are suspended from the galleries and the auditorium ceiling. Additionally, there is a later 19th-century organ located in front of the arch on the west wall, which is the liturgical east wall.
