Description
Cambray Baptist Church is a building of group value, dating from 1853-54 and designed by Henry Dangerfield, who was the Borough Surveyor. It cost approximately £3,400 to construct. The church is built of ashlar stone, with “French” quoins, and has brick sides. It is designed in a North Italian Renaissance style. The front of the church is pedimented, with three main bays; the side bays project slightly and feature sub-pediments containing small rose windows. A single-storey entrance bay is located to the right. The central bay has paired arched doorways with plank doors and plain overlights. To the right of this is a further arched entrance with a plank door and a blind fanlight, with a cornice above. The outer bays have paired round-arched windows arranged in two tiers, while a triple round-arched window is set in the central upper stage. The interior was not inspected at the time of listing. Historical records indicate that the chapel was dismantled and set back several feet in 1853-54 due to strained relations with neighbours.
