Whitefield Memorial Presbyterian Church

This is a Presbyterian church built in 1871. It was designed by Medland and Son and is constructed of yellow brick with decorative bands and panels of red and brown brick, stone dressings, and tiled roofs with decorative ridge tiles, displaying an eclectic Gothic style. The church features an aisled nave with six bays and a single-end gable roof, and a tower is located at the north-west corner, topped with a pyramidal tiled roof which replaced an original ashlar spire. A lower, narrower gabled bay extends from the east end. The tower includes an entrance doorway on the north side, set into a shallow porch with a gabled arch. The west front has a double central entrance doorway reached by stone steps, leading to a shallow porch with a stone gabled arch supported by stone columns with foliated capitals. Above the doorway is a sculpted stone tympanum depicting George Whitefield preaching to a congregation, inscribed with "The love of Christ constrains me to lift up my heart like a trumpet.” Three stepped windows are positioned above the doorway and a moulded stone sill band; the central window has three lights and the side windows have two lights, all with foiled Decorated tracery in stone. The interior was not inspected. The church is considered a good example of non-conformist architecture, designed in a vigorous and eclectic style by a noteworthy local architectural firm.
