Description
Kenyon Baptist Church, built in 1884, is a single structure under one roof with aisle divisions indicated by tall gabled buttresses featuring crocketed pinnacles on the west front. The church has similar buttresses at the corners. It is constructed of coursed sandstone with pale terra-cotta dressings, including buttress quoins, window surrounds, and quasi-flamboyant tracery, as well as moulded arches and double nook shafts of the triple west portal. The gables above the doorways have sunk panels of terra-cotta in foliate shapes, which bear the maker's stamp: "J Stiff and Sons, Lambeth." Pointed archways lead to the sides of the building, which is made of stock brick with buttress bay divisions and additional terra-cotta window tracery.
