Description
The United Reformed Church and two attached houses to the east are located on Bootle Chapel Lane. The church was founded in 1780, while the houses were built in 1780 and 1808. The building is made of roughcast stone, with the chapel featuring a stucco finish and a slate roof that is hipped at the east end. The chapel has a top cornice, a moulded plinth, and reeded pilaster strips. The east elevation consists of three bays, with windows that have stucco surrounds. The gallery windows are round-headed with fixed small-paned glazing. The central entrance features a four-panel door and a stone inscription recording the foundation by Joseph Whitridge above it.
On the north elevation, there are three round-headed windows, with the first being blind but featuring glazing bars. The houses are two storeys tall and consist of three bays on the left and two bays on the right. The windows in the houses have stucco surrounds and are sashed. The left house has glazing bars, while the right house has vertical glazing bars and horns, with some crown glass panes. The entrance to the second bay has a six-fielded panel door and a heart-shaped datestone inscribed "JW/1780". The entrance to the fourth bay has a datestone inscribed "IA/1808". There are two cross-axial stacks and a gable-end stack. The rear of the chapel features a 20th-century hall, which is not of interest, and has two round-headed windows and a round-headed stair window to the house. The chapel also has a headstone of the founder, who died in 1793, and family members on the north elevation, along with two ornate headstones on the east elevation dated 1808 and 1822.
