Description
The Baptist Church, built in 1838, is part of the original layout of Wellington Square. It is constructed of painted stucco, with a slate hipped roof, a continuous cornice, and a parapet. The side elevation facing the square features five round-headed sash windows with glazing bars, set within round-arched recesses that have moulded arches and impost mouldings. A porch is located at the right-hand (north-east) end. The front, facing south, has three bays, with the centre bay slightly projected and topped by a panelled pediment. A large round-headed recess sits centrally above a ground-floor enclosed porch with paired pilasters and an entablature, providing access to the porch itself. Smaller round-headed sash windows flank the central recess. The church is surrounded by area railings with urn finials and open-work cast iron gate piers. The listed buildings of Wellington Square are considered to form a group.
