Description
Providence Baptist Chapel is a Baptist chapel built in 1732. It is constructed of local red brick and features a plain tiled, hipped roof. The building has a square plan and stands two storeys tall, with the main entrance located in the northeast facade. There is a brick plinth and a band between the floors, as well as a dentil brick eaves cornice. The first floor has three replacement windows set in segmental arches, while the ground floor has two larger windows of a similar design, flanking 19th-century double, flush-panelled doors that are topped with a bracketed canopy. Inside, the chapel has a gallery on two sides supported by slender iron columns. Additionally, there are two giant wooden columns with square bases and caps that rise to the ceiling height, centrally positioned in the interior.
