Description

Kensington Congregational Chapel was built between 1854 and 1855. It is constructed of Bath stone and features an entrance front in the Corinthian order, which includes a tetrastyle portico and arched windows on either side. The chapel has five arched gallery windows on the returns. Inside, the gallery is partly canted above consoles and supported by slender cast-iron columns with foliated capitals. An organ is located in the reredos.
