United Reformed Church

The United Reformed Church, originally built as a Congregational Church in 1831, features later 19th-century elements inside. The chapel's foundation dates back to 1660, as noted on a datestone. Constructed from grey limestone ashlar, the church has a slate roof that is hidden behind a parapet. Architectural style is described as "cheerfully eclectic."

The church has a rectangular galleried plan and is positioned end-on to the street, located just north of the memorial rooms, which are separately listed. The exterior consists of three bays, with the outer bays slightly projecting forward. A shallow pedimented gable crowns the central bay, topped with a large square finial. A string course runs below the upper tier of windows, and there is a coved cornice in the outer bays beneath a plain coped parapet. The central entrance features a round-headed doorway with a hoodmould and label stops, leading up to sliding doors with vertical sunk panels and a blind timber arched fanlight adorned with Gothick details. A decorative late 19th-century lamp hangs from a stout, scrolled cast-iron bracket above the doorway.

The ground-floor windows are round-headed with recessed arches and hoodmoulds, fitted with 6-pane fixed lights. The outer bays have tall round-headed gallery windows, also with hoodmoulds, and fixed windows that include glazing bars and a roundel in the head. The central bay features a similar triple window with a continuous hoodmould.

The rear elevation has a hipped roof and a very tall round-headed louvred opening. The interior, which was partially inspected, includes a 19th-century gallery supported by columns with a cast-iron balustrade, robust late 19th-century benches with shaped ends, and a late 19th-century or early 20th-century organ case. This church contributes to a notable group of 19th-century grey limestone buildings alongside the Memorial Rooms and No. 2 St Peter Street to the south.
