Description
The Baptist Chapel is a non-conformist chapel built around 1832. It is constructed of yellow gault brick and features a low-pitched hipped slate roof with a deep overhang at the eaves. The front elevation is designed in two stages, flanked by pilaster strips and separated by a band. There are gauged brick arches above three hung sash windows, which have vertical glazing bars. At the ground floor, a similar window is flanked by two doorways, each featuring a doorcase with reeded pilasters and boss enrichments at the corners, along with panelled reveals. The gable end displays three cast iron wall monuments, and there are original cast iron railings surrounding the forecourt. The interior of the chapel includes a gallery.
