Description

Witney Congregational Church is a building that was originally a house, dating from the 18th century and remodelled in the early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled roof covered with plain tiles from the late 19th century, along with brick stacks at the ridge and ends. The building has a four-unit plan and stands two storeys tall with a five-window range. All openings are topped with timber lintels.

To the right, there is an early 19th-century six-panelled door with an overlight, and a similar panelled door is located to the left of the centre. The timber porch has fluted posts and a bracketed moulded cornice, and it is flanked by late 19th-century one-pane sash windows. Other windows feature early 19th-century six-pane sashes. The building also has an early 19th-century gutter decorated with lion's mask motifs. A rear wing was added around 1830. Inside, there are cased beams and a straight-flight staircase leading to the rear.
