Emmanuel Baptist Church With Archway At North West End

Emmanuel Baptist Church, founded in 1736 and renovated in 1902, is built of ashlar and set well back from the street. It features a two-storey gable end with four first-floor windows framed by side piers, above which is a mitred cornice that forms the base of a modern pediment from 1902. There is a panelled string course below the cornice. The church has a projecting ground floor annexe with quadrant corners, a Doric portico in antis, and flanking windows. The windows are segmental-headed with raised surrounds, keys, imposts, and cill blocks, containing three-light round-headed lancets, along with a square window with similar lights inside the portico. There are three ranges of windows along the sides of the building. Inside, the church features a gallery on four sides with curved corners and turned balusters leading up a double flight to a raised lectern. At the north-west end, there is a gabled archway to the Sunday School designed by William Smith, which is included with this listing. The church is part of a group with Nos 2 to 7 (consecutive) and 9 to 12 (consecutive).
