Description: | PRN 65330
A Baptist chapel on Eastgate, built in 1881. {1}
(Note - the location of this building is not known - it may be the building now known as The Temple but this is not certain.)
The site was visited in 2009. The former Baptist chapel known as The Temple has been the White and Sentence piano showroom since 1996. The Particular Calvinist congregation probably moved here from the Boston Road chapel in 1881 (PRN 65337). The chapel is constructed of red brick, with ashlar dressings, and has a gabled roof with slate covering and ornamental ridge copings and a terracotta finial. The three-bay gable front has a slightly projecting central bay with a flat-headed doorway and a large pointed window above, set within a pointed stone arch with zigzag decoration, resting on stepped buttresses with stone cappings. The flat-headed doorway has a pair of original doors with decorative iron hinges, and a margin light above, surmounted by a rectangular stone tablet - THE TEMPLE. The two lateral bays have pointed windows with ashlar arches, glazing bars and coloured margin lights, and terminal setback buttresses. The side elevations have four bays of flat-headed windows with ashlar heads and sills and glazing bar sashes with coloured margin lights and etched glass. The bays are separated by stepped buttresses. There is a lean-to annexe to the rear and a small blocked triangular-headed opening in the rear gable. A foundation stone is dated 1881. An iron side gate survives.{2}{3} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1881 - 1996 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
