Description

The United Reformed Church, built in 1832, serves as a church with a Sunday school and meeting rooms at the rear. The front and the first bay of the right side wall are rendered and whitewashed, while the rest of the building is constructed of brick with offset eaves. It features a hipped slate roof and is two storeys high. The west end has a double front with rectangular windows on the ground floor and round-arched windows above, all adorned with rendered keyblocks and altered 20th-century glazing. The central double doors are topped by a semi-circular light with narrow radiating glazing bars, along with rendered key and impost blocks. Steps leading to the door are equipped with a minimal iron handrail and flanking wrought iron boot-scrapers. The side walls contain three bays of similar windows, with the ground floor windows featuring cambered heads. Inside, there is an original west gallery with a panelled front supported by two slender cast iron columns. Other interior fittings date from the late 19th century, including 19th-century marble memorial tablets, one of which commemorates Jane, wife of Augustis Lines, who died in 1826.
