Background
Architecture
Plans were drawn up for the church in 1882 to 1883, costs were estimated to be £3200 and baptist pastor Charles Spurgeon was named as the treasurer in charge. The building was then built in 1884, The architecture is in Romanesque style with symmetrical structures in yellow brick. There are three sets of steps with iron railings leading inside, with round arches above the doors, framed with banded piers and entablature. There is a central two paned window with tripartite articulation. The building was Grade II listed on 7 April 1983. The building was refurbished in 2015, in the process the church leaders found a letter from Charles Spurgeon dated 1876 when the church community was developing.
