Description
The Congregational Church, built around 1815, is a disused church at the time of the survey in 1987. Although it was founded in 1815, its architectural details appear to be from the 1840s. The church is rendered, likely made of cob, and features a slate roof with gabled ends, trefoil-pierced ridge tiles, and shaped bargeboards with tear-drop piercing. The building has a small rectangular plan and includes a later brick porch lean-to attached to the east end. It is a single-storey structure with three windows on the south side, facing the road. These windows have rounded heads and arched glazing bars in a Gothick style. There is a fixed three-over-three pane window on the right return above the brick lean-to porch, which has a 19th or 20th-century plank door on the south side. The interior has not been inspected but is reported locally to have been stripped out in the last ten years.
