Description

The Baptist Chapel, The Lawrence Flat, and The Manse adjoining are located in Hatch Beauchamp village. The chapel was built in 1783, the lecture rooms were added in 1883, and the manse dates from 1855. The chapel and lecture rooms feature roughcast that mimics ashlar stone, with quoins and a lias plinth. The building has a gable front and slate roofs with overhanging eaves and decorative bargeboards on the taller lecture rooms.

The layout consists of a parallel range with a two-storey lecture room and classrooms on the left and a full-height chapel, which likely includes a west end gallery. The façade has one-to-one bays, with date stones from Ham in the gable ends. There are three-light arched windows above six-panel double doors with rusticated surrounds and pentice porches on stepped brackets. The left entrance to the lecture rooms is flanked by illegible Ham stone tablets, with a larger tablet indicating that this addition was made "at the sole expense of Mr Vincent Owsley as an expression of gratitude to Almighty God for blessings received" and opened in 1883.

On the left side, there are four bays with 12-pane sash windows on the first floor and two 16-pane sash windows on the ground floor, along with a 20th-century inserted door on the right. The right side features two arched, multi-paned windows. The adjoining Manse is set back, rendered with a shallow pitch slate roof and brick stacks at the gable ends. It is likely a double pile, two-storey structure with three bays, featuring two-light casements on the first floor and cruciform windows on the ground floor. The central segmental-headed recessed doorway is flanked by stepped buttresses and has a half-glazed door with marginal glazing bars and colored glass.
