Yardley Hastings United Reformed Church

Yardley Hastings United Reformed Church is a Nonconformist chapel built in 1813 and extended in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared limestone and features a slate roof. It has a single cell plan and is two stories high with a four-window range. The two central bays project slightly and contain two-light casement windows on the ground floor with segmental-arched heads. There are 20th-century doors on the far left and right, which have plain pilastered wood surrounds and entablatures. The doors and windows above are set in shallow recesses with round-arched heads, and the first floor has two-light casement windows with round-arched heads. The segmental and round-headed arches are made of contrasting grey sandstone and all feature key blocks. The gable is pedimented and has a central keyed oculus.

In the center, there is a rectangular railed enclosure with cast-iron railings that have spear finials and urn finials on the standards. A county fire insurance plaque is located at the center of the first floor. This plaque, positioned between the first-floor center windows and featuring a hood mould, is inscribed with "Built 1718/Destroyed by Fire/March 1813/Rebuilt and Enlarged/By Public/Subscription 1813." Above the first-floor windows, there is a long recessed panel that bears the inscription "YARDLEY CHAPEL."

To the right, there is a two-story, three-window red brick extension that includes a side door. The interior is notable for its galleries on three sides, which have panelled fronts. The central panel of the gallery at the entrance end projects forward and features a clock face. The galleries are supported by slender cast-iron columns with simple Ionic-style capitals, and there is a deep coved plaster ceiling. The later 19th-century pitch-pine pews and pulpit enhance the interior. The first-floor room of the extension, which was formerly a Sunday School, can be opened up to the adjacent gallery by a shuttered partition, supported by a pair of painted stone or cast-iron baseless Doric columns. Originally, this was a Congregational Chapel founded in 1672.
