Mount Pleasant Baptist Church

Mount Pleasant Baptist Church is a notable building featuring a splendid five-bay front made of Bath stone, designed in the 19th century. It has a tetrastyle Corinthian portico and an oculus with vermiculated keystones in the pediment. The church has a modern pantile roof and balustraded parapets over the side bays, which are accented by Corinthian pilasters. The first floor has arched windows, with the center window being blind, and keyblocked architraves that include imposts, balustered aprons, and marginal glazing bars. The ground floor openings are similarly designed, featuring acanthus keyblocks, foliage trail spandrels, and vermiculated blocks on the jambs, along with three-panel double doors. A central scalloped niche adds to the façade. A wide flight of steps leads up from a paved area behind modern railings and piers. The one-bay returns are styled similarly, while the rest of the side elevations are rendered with tall round-headed windows and arched tracery. The right-hand elevation includes Corinthian pilasters and moulded eaves.

To the left, there is a school-room block set back, featuring a two-storey rendered gable with Corinthian pilasters and an oculus above three arched windows per storey. To the right, another block is set back and has a two-storey and attic pedimented front, with Corinthian corner pilasters and three lights in echelon over four arched windows per storey, along with cill and impost bands. An arched doorcase is located on the ground floor to the right. The church has a six-bay flank elevation facing Dynevor Place, with a pedimented rear matching the front design.

Inside, the long rectangular space features a flat ceiling adorned with three roses and plasterwork foliage, along with a moulded cornice. There is a three-sided gallery front with a triglyph frieze and panels above the cornice, supported by cast-iron columns. The organ recess at the inner end has a Venetian window treatment above a Gothic pulpit, which is complemented by twin decorative ironwork handrails. The church houses a 1905 organ.
