Brunswick Chapel

Brunswick Chapel is a Congregational chapel, now used as offices, built in 1834 by William Armstrong. It features a limestone ashlar exterior, render, and a Pennant stone plinth, topped with a slate mansard roof, all designed in a Neoclassical style. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The main façade includes a portico supported by two pairs of giant Ionic columns, which front a wall with banded rustication, corner pilasters, a deep entablature, and a tall parapet with balustraded sections. The central doorway is framed by a moulded architrave and bracketed cornice, while the flanking ground-floor doors, now glazed, have eared architraves. Above these, there are semicircular-arched first-floor windows in matching recesses, both featuring 12/12-pane sashes with fixed lower sections. The sides of the chapel have five bays, marked by paired pilasters at the projecting ends, and include a first-floor plat band, frieze, and cornice, with windows similar to those on the front. The interior was completely modernised in the late 20th century, resulting in the loss of most period details. Originally, the chapel had a gallery on three sides and a central pulpit against the back wall.
