Description

The United Reformed Church, built in 1898 by Cooper and Williams, is designed in a modified late Gothic style. It features red brick with stone dressings. The west end facing the road includes a low closed porch with a wide elliptically arched doorway, which is set under a gable adorned with finials. Behind this, the main wall has a large traceried window and a coped gable end topped with a stone finial. Additionally, there are octagonal corner towers with arcaded top stages.
