Description

The United Reformed Church, built in 1902 by Geo. and R P Baines, is a decorative building in the late Gothic Art Nouveau style, featuring striking materials. The walls are made of rough, white flint rubble with prominent black pointing and dressings of intensely red brick and terracotta. The front of the building has a tall central gable with large traceried upper windows. To the left, there is a one-bay section under a slated roof with overhanging eaves supported by wrought iron angle brackets. To the right, a four-stage tower with a shaped parapet rises above. The central doorway is set in a gabled projection, flanked by projecting side entrances, all featuring diagonal buttresses and many chamfered oriental arched openings that transition into splayed jambs. On the right return, there are two similar doorways and pointed-arched windows. The wide gabled transept includes deeply coved window architraves, and the doors are adorned with elaborate fishbone iron hinges.
