This Baptist church was constructed in 1896, replacing an earlier ‘corrugated iron’ chapel on the same site. It was designed by P.M. Beaumont and built by A. Baxter. The foundation stones were laid by Leonard Bentall (Mayor), Thomas and Joseph Sadler, and Revd. Morris (Minister). The church is constructed of yellow stock bricks with red brick bands and arches in the Early-English gothic style. The windows are lancet shaped. The principal Butt-Lane elevation is gabled and has a small gabled porch. A rear schoolroom, designed by William Hayne, was added in 1914. It is built of yellow stock brick to match the church, and has long lead-glazed clerestory dormer windows. The buildings have had their slate roofs replaced by concrete tiles, but are otherwise little altered. The schoolroom was requisitioned as a military hospital during the Great War. <1> NRHE data transfer: Baptist Chapel in Butt Lane, built in 1896 by P Beaumont.
