II
Baptist chapel. 1885. By TL Watson. Limestone ashlar, Pennant ashlar and rubble, roof not visible. Neoclassical style. 2 storeys; 5-window range. A symmetrical front has a pedimented centre broken forward, with rusticated quoin strips to the central section and slightly recessed wings; Pennant plinth, ground-floor cornice, first-floor string, entablature, coped parapet, with the cornice raised across the centre beneath a raised parapet. Steps up to a tripartite doorway, a pedimented centre set forward with an eared architrave, architraves to flanking doors, and 2-leaf 10-panel doors. First-floor distyle-in-antis Corinthian loggia set between paired pilasters with incised anthemia capitals, to an entablature with a panel inscribed BAPTIST CHAPEL; 3 windows behind the columns have pilaster jambs and moulded lintels. Narrow windows to the wings have architraves, taller on the first floor with small pediments. Casements with horizontal glazing bars. Short ashlar returns, to Pennant rubble sides. INTERIOR not inspected. A late but competent use of Classicism for a nonconformist chapel in Bristol, by a Glasgow architect.
