Background

History

The church was built in 1826 for the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion. The building has since been altered and used as a Baptist church.

Architecture

Inside the church there was originally a horseshoe gallery, but this has been reduced in size to a curved gallery. This has a panelled front and is carried in slim cast iron columns. Around the church is a dentilled cornice, the ceiling is panelled, and the windows have moulded surrounds. At the west end is a plastered Corinthian architraved opening with a modillion cornice and an inscribed frieze.
