| source data:- | courtesy of English Heritage "Congregational Church now Jehovah's Witnesses. Foundation stone dated 30 APRIL 1860, by Ralph Nicholson of Halifax; extension dated on foundation stone 5 AUGUST 1878, by the same architect. Quarry-faced calciferous sandstone with flush quoins and flying buttresses. Graduated greenslate roofs, pyramidal in centre with finial; ashlar ridge chimney stacks. 3-storey central octagonal drum has flanking 2-storey, 3- and 4-bay wings; further 3-bay left extension. Drum has 3 faces at front and rear, each face having pointed arched blind ground floor windows and 5-light first floor lancets; tracery windows above in gabled 1/2 dormers, but one on each side has an uninscribed stone panel instead. Wings have pointed arched doorways the one on the right, up steps, within a gabled stone porch. Pointed porch and lancets some of them paired. Extension has similar door in gabled porch and lancets. Lecture room has apsidal ends, lancets and traceried windows." "INTERIOR of drum has had all fixtures and fittings removed; the galleries remain, boxed in with false ceiling. Beaty (1905) says "the arrangements of the interior are not satisfactory". Plans for the extension are in Cumbria County Record Office, Ca/E4/1094. (Beaty: Illustrated Guide to Carlisle: 1905-: P.40)." |
