Description
Wycliffe Baptist Church was built in 1887 as a daughter house to the King's Road Baptist Chapel. It features a North Italian classicizing-Romanesque style, constructed from grey brick with red brick corner piers. The building has a moulded plinth, string courses at the first floor level, and first floor cill dressings. A central pedimented break is located above a five-light arcade, which is supported by a three-arch loggia porch. The outer bays contain two-light windows, with a pedimented aedicule facing west on the left and a four-stage tower on the right, which may have been intended to have a steeple.
The church includes round-headed windows and a porch arcade made of pink granite columns with scroll caps. There is a moulded eaves band and a Roman tile roof. To the right, there is a lower two-storey extension added in 1885, which has a porch in a gabled break and is connected to the tower by a curved ground floor wall. This extension features single and paired round-headed lancets, two oculi on the first floor to the left, a moulded brick modillion eaves cornice, and gable verges. The ground floor has a projection with a lean-to, and there is a further gable at the centre of the first floor. Behind the church is a large clerestory-lit hall with wooden brackets supporting a hipped Roman tile roof.
