Description
The former English Congregational Church is a Grade II listed building featuring a gable facing the street made of yellow terracotta, while the other elevations are constructed from local rubble with brick dressings. The church has a slate roof. The wide gable is highlighted by three stepped arches with foliate capitals on the shafts and nail-head enrichment on the arches. The highest central arch contains a doorway and a Y-traceried window above, both of which have similar decorative details. Y-traceried windows are also present in the outer arches, which are recessed above the plinth. The outer pilasters have foliate capitals, and there is coping on the gable. A smaller entrance with a gabled porch is located on the right side of the building. The return elevations are blind but feature thin pilaster buttresses for articulation. The eastern end has a canted projection with simple Y-traceried windows, with the central window being blind.
Inside, the church has an undivided space with a gallery supported by cast-iron columns on the west side. There are four king-post collar trusses with traceried panels that are braced and sprung from wall-posts. The shallow canted eastern end, which previously housed the organ, is recessed behind an arch that features foliate capitals and nail-head enrichment. The flanking windows also display similar details and contain stained glass.
