Description

The building is a Congregational church, now functioning as a meeting hall, constructed in 1840. It is made of gault brick with red-brick dressings and has a roof covered with concrete tiles.

On the exterior, the entrance is located in the south gable and features a central gabled porch with a shouldered parapet. This porch contains an arched door flanked by single lancet windows. The main elevation has a tall lancet window on either side of the porch, and above the porch is a stepped triplet of lancets with an oculus above. The gable is adorned with a saw-toothed cornice, and the surviving original windows showcase intersecting tracery in their heads. The building has 6-bay returns, with each bay separated by buttress piers, featuring multiple-paned windows on the ground floor and Y-traceried upper windows.

Inside, there are galleries on all four sides supported by cast-iron reeded columns, which rise to cast-iron balustrading. The roof is scissor-braced and boarded. At the north end, there is a raised dais with three bays of blind arcading that includes modified stiff-leaf decoration.
