New Mill Tring Baptist Church With Adjoining Schoolroom And 2 Cottages,In Graveyard

New Mill Tring Baptist Church, with an adjoining schoolroom and two cottages in the graveyard, is a 17th-century chapel that was rebuilt in 1818, as indicated by a stone plaque on the front. The Sunday School at the rear was rebuilt in 1895, and the two small 18th-century cottages are attached, facing into the graveyard.

The chapel is constructed of red brick and features a wide plastered soffit to the eaves of its hipped slate roof. The Sunday School is made of plum brick, with stone chamfered lintels and a steep slate roof that has a bracketed verge overhang. The cottages are also in red brick and have steep old red tile roofs.

The chapel is a simple two-storey rectangular building facing east, with its northern side adjacent to the roadside. The symmetrical east front has three recessed sash windows on the upper floor, each with 8/8 panes and segmental heads under segmental gauged arches. The central round-arched entrance is flanked by similar windows and features two stone steps leading up to 8-panel flush beaded double doors, with a matching round-headed panel above. There are three wide-spaced windows on each floor on the north and south sides, with wide pilasters between the windows on the south side.

Inside, the chapel has a pine panelled interior with a U-shaped gallery supported by columns, and the pulpit is centrally located at the west end. The two-storey Sunday School is entered through the gabled north end facing the roadside. Early 19th-century gravestones are built into the rear wall. The two small two-storey cottages back onto the road and face south into the graveyard, each having two windows on each floor and a door in the middle. The cottages feature surviving 18th-century two-light leaded casements. The New Mill Baptist Church was founded in 1655 and has been the origin of many later churches in the area.
