Description
The United Reform Church, built in 1842, serves as both a church and a schoolroom. It features a brick structure with stucco dressings and a slate roof, designed in the Early English style. The church is a single-cell building with four bays, while the schoolroom to the east has three lower bays. There is an offset plinth, and the east wall of the schoolroom includes cross-windows that overlook a forest. The south wall features a central gabled Gothic porch flanked by lancet windows. The church itself has lancet windows on both sides, with pilasters in between and corner buttresses. The west end has a pointed door beneath a hood that continues as a string course at the springing level, above which is a two-light plate-tracery window. Inside, the church retains its original features, including a west gallery supported by slender cast iron columns.
