Description
The Baptist Church, built in 1824, features a red brick construction with a fully hipped slate roof that has a wide eaves overhang and a ball finial at the apex. The front wall includes four bricks also dated 1824, marked with the initials WB, JP, RW, and JB. The building has small-paned sash windows and two six-panel doors with raised fielded panels, each equipped with an ornate foot-scraper. There is one cast iron light bracket on the exterior. Inside, the church contains an early 19th-century gallery, along with a late 19th-century pulpit and benches. At the rear, there is a late 19th-century schoolroom made of red brick with a pantiled roof. The chapel is situated within its own graveyard and remains in use today.
