Description
Corsham United Reformed Church, formerly listed as a Congregational church, is a disused chapel built in 1790. It features rubble stone construction with coursed small ashlar blocks on the front and a hipped stone-tiled roof. The east front has two arched-headed doorways with flush surrounds that are bead-moulded, featuring raised keystones and impost blocks. Each doorway has a 6-panel door and a radiating bar fanlight above. Curved hoods on brackets sit over each door, and there is a circular window on the first floor in a flush bead-moulded surround with raised keys at the cardinal points. A central long arched-headed stair window has a raised keystone and impost blocks, with a 12-pane sash window that has radiating bars at the top. The sides have a range of three arch-headed glazing bar windows. At the rear, there is a low slate-roofed 19th-century schoolroom with mullion windows. Inside, the entrance end features a bow-fronted panelled gallery that was inserted in 1824. The west end was altered in the later 19th century, and there are no fittings of special interest otherwise.
