Description

The Premises of the Boys Brigade, First Petworth Company, were originally built as the Congregational Church and Church Hall, likely around 1870. This Gothic-style building features Hythe chert and Hythe sandstone rubble with a tiled roof. The east-facing gable end includes a 14th-century style pointed window with tracery and a pointed stone doorway situated above six steps. A turret is located at the north-east corner of the building, topped with an open wooden gallery and a shingled spire. The south wall has three pointed windows. Behind the church, the foundation stone for the former church hall was laid in 1889, which has two storeys of windows, with three windows on each floor made up of three pairs of triple lancets.
