Description

The Baptist Chapel, built in 1875, is designed in an Italianate classical style. It features unpainted stucco with painted mouldings and a front porch. The broad pedimented front includes a keyed roundel in the pediment, long arched side windows, and a fine Roman Doric porch with a triplet of arched windows above. The porch is wide, supported by paired columns on each side, with pilaster responds, a full entablature, and a pediment, all raised on three steps. The double doors have a stained glass overlight. The windows are set in moulded surrounds with keystones, with the long outer windows and the centre window of the triplet featuring a timber centre mullion and traceried heads, while the outer lights of the triplet are shorter and narrower single lights. All windows are adorned with attractive early 20th-century patterned stained glass.

The chapel has three-window sides and a two-window end wall, both featuring similar long arched windows, along with a matching end-wall pediment. Attached and set back to the right is a later Sunday School, which has a pedimented door and arched windows on either side. The forecourt is enclosed by handsome spearhead iron railings on low slate-coped rubble walls, with matching gates and an overthrow between cast-iron panelled piers. The rubble stone piers at each end are capped by cast-iron palmettes.

Inside, the chapel boasts a fine interior that is galleried on three sides, supported by three cast-iron columns with Gothic capitals. The ceiling is flat with a moulded cornice, an oval centre, and five plaster rosettes. The gallery front is panelled with arched panels, and the angles are rounded. A fine panelled pulpit features curving steps, rounded angles, a patterned front panel, and a high arched back panel set in an ornate carved frame with a heavily moulded cornice and a scrolled pediment.
