Description: | PRN 24103
This is a building identified as of historical interest by the South Holland District Council Local List. It is a good example of this style of building of this period but has, in the past, been altered and has lost many of its original features and its historic character. There is no further information avaliable at this time. {1}
The building was visited in 2010. It is now in use as a Montessori Nursery. The former church on the opposite side of London Road is indicated as a Congregational Church on the 1931 OS County Series map (PRN 25682) and is still marked as a chapel on the 1975 OS 1:10000 map. This building of 1916 may therefore originally have been the Sunday School for that church. It is built of red brick with stone dressings and has a gabled roof with a slate covering. The front gable is raised with stone copings and kneelers and has an arched gabled stone at the apex. There are three bays of openings with a central square-headed doorway with a flat hood supported on stone brackets attached to splayed brick walls. The flat hood bears the inscription "UNITED REFORMED CHURCH". The paired doors have a divided rectangular light above. To either side are tall windows with arched stone lintels. The frames have been replaced with UPVC. A broad rectangular opening above the door is obscured by a nursery sign but has a stone lintel with an arched panel inscribed 1916. There are two string-courses at the level of the heads of the openings formed by three courses of gault brick. There are several foundation stones. The side elevation has 3 bays of square-headed windows with glazing bars and two further blank bays towards the rear separated by buttresses with stone cappings. The rear gable has a large square-headed window with four lights and a stone lintel. To the south east is an attached flat-roofed annexe.{1}{2}{3}{4} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1916 - 1980 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
