Congregational chapel, now United Reformed Church. 1866-68 by F. Drake of Leicester in a Ruskinian Venetian Gothic style. Red brick with ashlar front and hipped slate roof. 2-storey front with attic in gable-pediment; balustraded parapet to cornice of outer bays. Full height central projection with rusticated quoins, capped by gable-pediment. 3-part window below broken up into 6 lights by arcade with capitals of lilies, oak grapes etc. Ground floor with central arched doorway flanked by a pair of lower keyed-arch doorways. Columns flanking, supporting entablature and central open pediment; capitals of columns flanking central door based on lily of the valley, the outer pair on ferns. Side bays have rusticated quoins and tall double-height round arched windows divided by a single pier vertically and horizontally by a traceried band. Sides with 5 major bays with windows in tall round-arched recesses and 4 slightly less tall and much narrower recessed panels between. The major interest of this building resides in the Ruskinian influence visible in both the style and particularly in the naturalistic foilage capitals of the columns.
