Description
The United Reformed Church is a chapel built in 1790, with additions and alterations made in the 19th century. It features a timber-framed structure with roughcast render and plain tiled roofs, along with gault brick and slated roof additions. The building has one galleried storey and an original double hipped roof that consists of three bays, which extends to the east with an apse that houses the vestry and an organ gallery above.
To the north, there is a late 19th-century brick extension that adds one bay, characterized by a symmetrical gabled entrance facade. This facade includes double doors and two side doors that are recessed, accompanied by a band of pointed lights above three fanlights. A portico supported by four octagonal piers enhances the entrance. The church has three two-light gallery windows featuring leaded lights and stuccoed drip moulds, with a quatrefoil design in the apex and an apex finial.
Inside, the gallery wraps around three sides and is supported by wooden columns. A painted roundel on the east side indicates "W.W fecit 1802." There is also a marble tablet dedicated to Reverend Sam Bull, the church's first pastor who was ordained in 1791 and died in 1826, located on the south wall. Additionally, Samuel Dodkin, who died in 1808, left funds for the chapel's upkeep.
