Description
Fetter Lane Congregational Chapel is a church and former Sunday school, dated 1899, designed by P Morley Horder. It features roughcast walls with stone dressings and a steeply pitched slate roof. The building occupies a corner site and consists of a galleried chapel on the upper two storeys, with a former schoolroom below. The design includes six paired bays in an Arts and Crafts style, with a gabled west end that has a flush mullioned Serlian window in the gable and a central section of the facade that slightly projects forward. The entrance is located to the right, and there are 3-light mullioned windows on the first floor. The chapel has prominent battered buttresses between the bays that are linked to create segmental reveals around the upper windows. The ground floor windows have segmental heads, while the upper ones are square; the ground floor windows are timber mullioned, and the upper ones are in stone. The windows feature small panes and leaded lights. A projecting three-storey north porch has an arched entrance.
Inside, there are cast iron columns that support the galleries on the north, west, and south sides. The short chancel features a Serlian motif forming the chancel arch, and the central pulpit is designed in an ornate late 17th century style, with panelling in the chancel. The nave roof is a segmental barrel vault. The design of the church interior is said to recall the original Fetter Lane Chapel from 1660.
