Description
Park Congregational School is a Sunday School building constructed in 1889 by Lander and Bedells of London. It is made of squared tooled blue lias stone with Bath stone dressings and is a single-storey structure topped with a high octagonal slate roof. The building has a cruciform plan and features coped shouldered projecting gables on the cardinal faces, which are above plate-traceried three-light windows. There are intermediate diagonal low walls with sloping roofs leading up to a band of octagonal lantern lights, topped by a steep bell-cast octagonal roof.
At the southwest angle, there is a low range that extends westward, featuring a gabled south door and a coped parapet to the right, above a four-light mullion window.
Inside, the main space is a large octagonal area with boarded roofs. The roof trusses are supported by big sling braces that rise from low corbels, with cross-beams across the gable openings and whalebone braces above.
