Description

The United Reformed Church, formerly Presbyterian, and the attached Parish Rooms were built in 1870 with additions around 1890. Designed by Frederick Barnes and constructed by Henry Luff, the building is in the Gothic Revival style. It features Kentish rag stone rubble with ashlar and blue brick dressings, and has slate roofs with moulded coped gables and kneelers, along with ornate iron ridge decoration. The exterior includes trefoil pierced parapets and a chamfered plinth.

The structure comprises a nave and a north-western tower topped with a spire, along with transepts and a polygonal apse. The eastern entrance front displays a gabled wall of the nave flanked by single projecting gabled porches, each adorned with cross finials and pointed arched doorways. Between the porches are three single pointed lancets, and above them is a large five-light pointed arched window featuring Geometrical tracery, a hood mould, and banded blue brick and ashlar voussoirs. To the south, there is a polygonal stair turret, while to the north stands a square tower with double lancet bell-openings on each face, topped by a broached ashlar spire with a single set of gabled lucarnes. The nave's north wall has three tall two-light pointed arched windows, and to the west, there is a projecting gabled transept. The apse is adorned with three small triple lancet windows. The south-west features gabled parish rooms built in a similar style. Inside, the church boasts a fine wooden roof and contemporary wooden fittings, although the walls are whitewashed.
