Mount Pleasant United Reformed Church

Mount Pleasant United Reformed Church is an Edwardian church built in a mixed architectural style, oriented north-east to south-west, with its entrance located at the north-east. The church is constructed from grey rock-faced limestone with freestone dressings and features Welsh slate roofs. It is a large building with a gable facing the street, comprising a nave, aisles, choir, lobby, and a north-east tower.

The entrance front includes double plank doors with an arched head, flanked by small pointed-headed windows with dripmoulds. Above the doorway is a prominent four-light Geometric window featuring three quatrefoils in the head, with a gable cross positioned above. A cill band runs around the tower, which projects forward. The tower itself has three stages: the ground stage contains a pointed arch two-light window, the first stage has a small two-light window with a square head and cusped lights, and the second stage features a tall pointed belfry louvre. The tower is topped with battlements and corner pinnacles, while the other faces are blind except for the belfry louvres.

Each long wall of the church has five two-light windows with trefoil heads located in the aisles and in the clerestorey above. A projecting stair turret is situated at the south-east corner, featuring a single light window facing the street and a two-light window facing south above. There is also a four-light window over the altar, similar to that on the entrance front.

Inside, the church has a five-bay nave arcade supported by octagonal piers and sharply pointed arches. The tall hammerbeam roof is ceiled with longitudinal boarding at collar level. A tall three-centred chancel arch with a hoodmould and carved stops leads into the chancel. The west gallery has a panelled front, with a lobby screen below, and all pews and fittings are preserved in their original condition, made of Canadian oak. The Gothic-style pulpit appears older than the other fittings and may be a reused piece. The chancel roof is also ceiled, and the east window features coloured glass commemorating the benefacting family. Additionally, there is a fine organ by Vowles of London.
