SD8433SW COLNE ROAD 906-1/10/44 (West side) 29/09/77 Burnley Lane Baptist Church and Institute

GV II

Includes: No.2 HEBREW ROAD. Baptist Sunday School converted to institute, with integral dwelling; and added chapel (replacing chapel formerly on opposite side of road, built 1787) now church. 1845 and 1860 respectively; altered and the church extended to the rear. Mostly coursed squared sandstone, the institute watershot and the church ashlar-faced, with rusticated quoins to both parts, hipped stone slate roof to institute and slate roof to church. PLAN: L-plan formed by the original range on an east-west axis incorporating the dwelling at its east end, with the church as a projecting crosswing at the west end. EXTERIOR: the institute and dwelling is a mostly 2-storey range, 4+1 windows, with a band over the ground floor, a 1st-floor impost band, and stone gutter brackets. It appears to have been shortened at the west end, the openings of the former school forming a symmetrical set markedly offset to the left, those at the left end being very close to the junction with the church. At each end of this set is a tall square-headed doorway at ground floor, with a square-cut plain surround, a 9-panel door with glazed top panels, and a square overlight, and a round-headed window at 1st floor; in the centre are a pair of rectangular windows at ground floor and a pair of tall round-headed windows above, and between these a datestone at ground floor with raised lettering "SABBATHSDAY / SCHOOL / 1845" and a re-set triangular-headed datestone set on the band and inscribed "EBENEZER / ERECTED / 1787"; and the ground floor also has an intermediate pair of smaller windows. The continuation to the right (No.2 Hebrew Road) is divided into 3 storeys, with altered openings at ground floor and one window on each upper floor, both breaking the bands. The church to the left, rectangular and of 2 slightly higher storeys, with a 4-window symmetrical pedimented facade, has 2 segmental-headed sashed windows at ground floor, with geometrical glazing bars, moulded architraves and triple keystones, flanked by round-headed doorways which have moulded heads with keystones, pilastered architraves with plain friezes and moulded cornices, and panelled doors with fanlights; and round-headed windows at 1st floor with pilaster jambs, moulded heads with keystones, and pedimented

architraves with enriched consoles. All these windows (including the fanlights of the doors) have stained glass margin panes. The pediment contains a wreath and banner with raised lettering "GENERAL / BAPTIST / CHAPEL / ANNO DOMINI MDCCCLX". The 5-window left side wall has square-headed windows at ground floor and round-headed above, all sashed with coloured margin panes; and the 3-window right-hand side has similar windows. At the rear is an irregular 2-window extension (for minister's vestry and organ chamber). INTERIOR: church has horseshoe gallery on cast-iron columns with composite caps, with original numbered box-pews upstairs; and adapted original pendant gas-light fittings including ventilated ceiling rose; former pulpit, organ loft with choir stalls, and former box-pews at ground floor removed c1970. Forms a group with Burnley Lane Baptist Church Hall to the south (qv), to which it is now linked.
