Kingdom Hall Of Jehovah'S Witnesses

The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, originally built as a Catholic Apostolic Church (Irvingite) in 1841, features 20th-century alterations and was designed by GP Manners. Constructed from limestone ashlar with a slate roof, the building is designed in the Norman Revival style and has a rectangular plan.

The exterior includes corbel tables at the gable ends and eaves of the nave, as well as machicolation at the eaves of the chancel and the lead-roofed segmental curved apse. The east side of the nave showcases a moulded sill string course, an impost string, and engaged Norman columns with scalloped capitals supporting three semicircular arched recesses above windows with 20th-century glass. To the left, there is a thick rolled arris leading to a semicircular arch over a 20th-century door, with two additional 20th-century doors set in the plinth. Smaller windows with coved openings flank the chancel, and the apse features a higher sill string and weathered sills for three smaller windows similar to those of the nave, each with small quarter Norman columns.

On the northwest side of the nave, a smaller gabled block has a slit at the apex of its coped gable end and a roll-moulded surround to a semicircular arched window below. At the junction of the two blocks, there is a shouldered arch leading to a 20th-century door. The north side has a corbel table beneath the parapet. The interior has not been inspected.

Historically, the church was used by the Irvingites until the 1860s, after which it became St. Mary's Roman Catholic Hall before being converted into the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1976.
