This late Victorian Baptist church in the Gothic style is constructed in knapped flint and soft red brick, with a clay tiled roof and crested ridge and finials. Our design for a linked 2-storey extension made use of the steep hillside site to provide a new kitchen, toilets and meeting rooms, including the original basement storey below pavement level, and wrapped round the back of the original building to provide a vestry and focal point baptistry. The spacious new entrance area has a glazed screen wall to provide welcoming views of the interior in contrast to the original timber doors in the small porch. A new seat was provided for the local bus stop. The form of the extension is subservient to the original church building and constructed in sympathetic traditional materials, timber, brick and clay roof tiles.
