Description
The English Presbyterian Church is an early Gothic style building constructed from polygonal blocks of limestone, featuring ashlar oolitic dressings and a blue slate roof adorned with green fish-scale slate bands. The main northern front showcases a gabled porch positioned between raking buttresses that extend the side walls, and includes a pair of doors topped by a quatrefoil in the arch tympanum. The northern end of the chapel is gabled and flanked by pinnacled buttresses, featuring a large low-set wheel window and decorative panelwork at the apex of the gable. The main body of the church consists of three bays, with the northern bay having a hipped roof supported by a corbel table. It is fitted with two-light windows that have foiled heads. At the southern end, there are transepts with similar triple windows. The chancel is short and square-ended, featuring a five-light window, while the vestry is located in the southwest angle.
Inside, the church has plastered walls and a painted barrel vault supported by deeply coved sides, with the main vault displaying moulded ribs that form squares, and hammer beams with short shafts leading to wall corbels. The pews in the center and on the sides are made of pine. The altar table is accompanied by an octagonal font to the side, all positioned behind an arcaded communion rail. Along the back wall, there are seven seats for elders, which have high panelled backs and shaped armrests.
The southern window features stained glass depicting figures of prophets under canopies. Additionally, there is an organ by P Conacher, housed in a Gothic case.
