Baptist Chapel

This is a Baptist chapel built in 1860, designed by RD Gould, with a later addition at the rear dating from the 20th century. The chapel is constructed from squared stone rubble with limestone dressings. Brick relieving arches are present above the windows, painted white. The left gable wall is clad in slate, and the roofs are slate-covered, featuring a small rendered chimney on a stair turret to the left of the front wall.

The building's plan features a large oblong main room with galleries along the rear and side walls. The rear gallery and the space beneath it have been partitioned off. An entrance lobby is located at the left-hand end, with a stair turret to its left.

The front facade has a seven-window range, arranged across two tiers of round-arched openings. These arches are elaborately moulded and terminate on small carved brackets. Bands of limestone connect the cill and springing levels of these arches. Each end opening contains an eight-panelled door with flush lower panels and a fanlight with radial glazing bars. The remaining openings contain small-paned windows; 16 panes are in the lower tier and 20 panes above, all with radial glazing bars. A significant amount of original glass remains, particularly in the upper tiers. Carved panels depicting four-leaved flowers are between the heads of the lower-tier openings. The building is finished with a bracketed stone eaves cornice.

The stair turret has a lower eaves line and includes a small round-arched window in each of its two storeys, featuring plain chamfered surrounds and eight-pane fixed sashes. The upper two panes of these windows are shaped to fit the curve of the arched head.

The interior, as documented in a 1988 listing description, originally retained galleries supported by cast-iron columns with quatrefoil sections and decorative, open-work brackets. The gallery fronts, likely added later, are panelled with ornate iron railings. The galleries were re-seated in 1896. A choir loft at the south end features similar panelled fronting and houses an organ from 1884 with painted pipes. In front of and below the organ is an elaborate pulpit, dated 1933, with carved Gothic detailing. Two large, decorated chandelier bosses are fixed to the ceiling.

The chapel is flanked by a hall and schoolrooms to the right, along with the former Minister's residence, May House.
