Description
Kensington Temple is a church dating from around 1848-9, originally built as the Horbury Congregational Chapel by J Tarvin. It later served as the Church of the Foursquare Gospel and is now the Elim Pentecostal Church. The building is constructed in a geometrical Gothic style and has a cruciform plan, featuring a four-bay nave, transepts, and a shallow sanctuary containing the pulpit. The exterior is of random rubble Kentish ragstone with ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof, parapets, and a coped gable to the east front, flanked by towers. The east window is a four-light design with geometrical tracery. A central arched doorway has receding orders and a hoodmould, with further doorways located in the corner towers. Inside, the church has a plain interior with galleries on three sides, supported by cast iron columns and accessed by staircases within the towers.
