United Reformed Church

The United Reformed Church was built in 1743 by a local congregation of Independents, later known as Congregationalists, and became part of the United Reformed Church in 1972. The chapel is constructed of red brick with blue brick accents, laid in a Flemish bond, and has a slate roof that is fully hipped. Plain, flat pilasters are at the corners. The facade has a two-story design, with an upper row of three cross windows and a slightly longer window on the ground floor, all replacements from the late 19th century in original segmental arched openings with gauged brickwork. Two original doorways flank the ground floor window; these have plain surrounds, segmental arches, and fine doors with eight raised and fielded panels. Two semi-circular wrought iron foot-scrapers are set into the wall, and on the left side is an ornate bracketed lamp holder with a decorative finial. The rear wall features two long, original windows with semi-circular heads and diamond-leaded panes, divided into three sections by heavy glazing-bars, with a small casement window with pintle hinges in the central division. The gauged brick surrounds have keystones and capitals.

The interior includes galleries on three sides; the fronts feature applied octagonal panels and the supporting wooden columns have moulded caps and bases. The side galleries were added around 1813, while the rear gallery now serves as an organ loft. A long row of wooden hat pegs is located on the rear wall above the gallery. The chapel has late 19th-century benches and a roof constructed of cast iron and timber, featuring cast iron ties, timber queen struts, and side purlins. This roof structure may have replaced an earlier design supported by pillars. A panelled pulpit is centrally placed between the two long rear windows and is accessed by a flight of steps.

Adjacent to the chapel on the left is a single-story Sunday School building made of matching materials, thought to be from around 1813 with 19th-century alterations. A hipped roof covers the building, which has two cross windows, a central doorway, a four-panelled door with applied mouldings, and a fanlight with vertical glazing bars. As with the chapel, the roof is open. A 19th-century vestry was added to the rear of the chapel and a 20th-century extension was added to the Sunday School building.
