Description
Mount Calvary English Baptist Chapel is a notable building featuring snecked facings, pale freestone dressings, and some red brick, topped with slate roofs that have tiled cresting. The gable is flanked by polygonal turrets with apsed staircase towers. It includes a traceried five-light window and a band of blind panels above a moulded arched doorway, with chequered turrets that have ball finials. The distinctive cusped panels and lights are found at the crenellated top storey of the stairs, while the side elevation is buttressed and features a cross gable with two-light cusped windows. The school-room gable has a similar design, featuring a three-light plain window above an arched doorway, with outside stairs to the right. The forecourt is enclosed with piers and railings.
Inside the chapel, there are intruded angles for open-handrail stairs. The ceiling is three-sided over the pulpit area, supported by collar-beam trusses with arched braces resting on curved corbels. There is a U-plan gallery with bowed ironwork anthemion panels and cast-iron columns; the gallery front sweeps down below the organ in an arched chamber. The pulpit is perpendicular with open work handrails. The rear school-room also has a three-sided ceiling roof, with trusses on wall-posts and cast-iron columns behind panelled screens on one side only.
