Description
Albemarle Baptist Church and the attached schoolroom were built in 1867 and designed by Henry Francis Lockwood in the Gothic Revival style. The church features dressed stone and white brick with ashlar dressings, and has slate roofs, coped gables with kneelers, and dentilated eaves. The structure includes a nave with aisles, transepts, a chancel, and a south tower.
The street front showcases a triple arched entrance with circular piers and responds, and polychromatic arches. It has three sets of double doors with stained glass, flanked by single shallow buttresses. To the left is a single lancet window, and to the right is a triple lancet window. Above, there is a large Geometrical tracery six-light pointed arch window, with a triple lancet to the right flanked by single blind lancets topped by a quatrefoil pierced parapet. To the left, a small semi-circular apse features a row of seven upper lancets. The square tower above has a pair of lancets, a moulded string course, and a bell stage with a single lancet on each face topped by a tall crocketed gable, culminating in a stone octagonal spire. The side aisles have four two-light plate tracery lancets each, while the transepts contain large single four-light plate tracery windows, and the chancel has three two-light plate tracery windows.
To the northeast, the attached schoolroom has a canted south front with three two-light plate tracery windows, a moulded brick band above, and a central pointed window of two lights with wooden tracery through the eaves. On either side are single triangular-headed three-light casements.
Inside, the church features a moulded chancel arch with triple shaft responds and a fine wooden roof supported by four tall slender columns on each side. The interior includes 19th-century wooden pews, a pulpit, and choir stalls. In the chancel, there is a tin-lined total immersion font with an ashlar pierced parapet.
