Description

The United Reformed Church is designed in the Decorated Gothic style and features bull-nosed snecked masonry with freestone dressings. The building has a three-window gabled front and steep slate roofs, with decorative bands on the south side. It includes raking gable parapets on kneelers and a crocket finial at the apex above a cusped vent. Flanking the tall central five-light window are polygonal spirelets on stepped buttresses. The pointed arch of the window showcases good geometric cusped tracery and is complemented by a sill band. To the left, there is a smaller two-light window that creates an aisled effect, while the window to the right is truncated by a single gabled porch featuring a pointed arch doorway. The double doors are adorned with decorative iron straps.

The church has six bays on the side elevations, with stepped buttresses flanking two-light traceried windows on the south side, also featuring a sill band and corbelled eaves. The entrance porch, located on the north side, includes a stair turret to the right. This porch mirrors the front design with a side window showcasing cusped plate tracery. The polygonal stair turret has an angular hipped decorative slate roof topped with a finial, and a freestone band at the eaves displays paired quatrefoils. Slit-like lancet windows are present, with a cusped lancet to the left and the other four bays mirroring the south side.

At the rear, there is a vent at the apex above a polygonal organ chamber with an angular hipped roof. The vestries are positioned at right angles and feature gabled roofs. Two-light traceried windows are found on the gable ends, which extend beyond the main side elevations. A gabled dormer is situated over the central doorway, flanked by two-light cusped plate tracery windows. The building is further enhanced by good decorative ironwork railings on a stepped stone base along the Park Street and New Church Street elevations.
