The United Reformed Church (formerly the Providence Chapel) is a 19th-century church and a Grade II* Listed building in Barton-upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire, England.[1] It is the oldest surviving Independent chapel in Lincolnshire.[1]
Architecture
The church and its associated manse is constructed of locally-made red brick. It is a two-storey building with a gabled roof. The roof is tiled in Welsh slate and pantiles. A circular panel in the front elevation is inscribed 'Providence Chapel 1806', over which it is painted 'United Reformed Church'. A flat-roofed porch was added in 1859–1864.[1]
The interior retains elaborate plasterwork decoration and a nearly intact series of original box pews. It is the oldest surviving independent chapel in Lincolnshire with its original seating intact.[1]
History
The church was constructed in 1806 and closed in c. 1993.[2]
