Details

Modest rectangular hall of sandstone rubble with a two storey façe of five bays, clad in cement stucco. Five arched windows to first floor with pediment containing infilled ocular window. Inevitably, the interior has been radically altered, although it is still possible to identify the original layout. The auditorium was decked over at circle height (a half storey up from ground level). The former pit, excavated to a depth of 3m (9ft 10in), became the crypt. The church is an unadorned rectangular space with a flat ceiling and one balcony with truncated slips. All evidence of the proscenium and stage has gone.
