Description
Wells United Church is a United Reformed Church, originally built as a Baptist Church in 1827. The building features a rendered and colourwashed exterior with a hipped roof covered in interlocking clay tiles, which is set behind a parapet.
The church is a single-storey structure with a gallery and has a three-bay east elevation. It includes a plinth, a band course between the floors, a cornice, and a shallow parapet. The east elevation showcases semicircular arched casement windows with nine panes and radially-glazed tops in plain openings. The central entrance, accessed by three steps, consists of a pair of three-panel doors topped by a semicircular radially glazed fanlight within an arched opening. This entrance is framed by Doric half-columns on plinths, with an entablature above. The side elevation is obscured by adjoining buildings.
Historically known as "Ebenezer Chapel," this church was established as a Baptist Church and later combined with Congregationalists from Croscombe in 1917. The interior has not been inspected.
