United Reform Church. Dated 1777, but probably rebuilt in
early C19. Red brick with painted pilaster quoins, window
arches and moulded cornice, and rendered bands and
door-surround. Moulded platband over ground floor and cillband
to upper floor. Low hipped Swithland slate roof with ridge
running front to back. Two storeys. Symmetrical 3-window
front, in segment-headed surrounds with keyblocks. Paired
casements with glazing bars, radiating above. Pilastered
entrance-surround with frieze and cornice to paired six-panel
doors with overlights. Two-storey single-bay extension to
right in similar style. Panelled door below with
Gothick-glazed fanlight. Left return elevation of three
windows on two storeys with band and moulded cornice.
Datestone of 1777 above door refers to the building of the
chapel after the reunion of the two Lutterworth Congregations
following an earlier secession. Interior: altered in late C19
but retaining original galleries around three sides and
hexagonal pulpit. There are various C18 monuments.
