Description
The former United Reform Church is a Congregational church built in 1870 by RD Gould and Son, designed in the Middle Pointed Style. It is constructed from squared slatestone rubble with limestone and local stone detailing, and the rear wall is partly made of red brick. The building features slated roofs with red crested ridge tiles.
The façade has a five-window range in two stages, with a focus on the left-hand bay. The ground storey includes three small segmental-headed, traceried windows, flanked by doorways at either end. The larger left-hand doorway has a moulded, enriched two-centred arch, which is enclosed within a steeply-pitched, gabled hood supported by short columns resting on moulded imposts. The hood is decorated with crockets and a finial. The doorway is divided by a pillar, which supports an angel holding a scroll inscribed with "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts."
The upper storey features tall, pointed traceried windows, each set under a gable. The left-hand window has four lights, while the others have two lights, and all four windows are topped with finials on the gables above them. The rear wall also contains traceried windows. The interior has been altered.
