The United Reformed Church in Barton-upon-Humber, England, is a very old building. It was once known as the Providence Chapel. This church is a special Grade II* Listed building. This means it is a very important historic building that needs to be protected. It is the oldest church of its kind in Lincolnshire that is still standing.
What the Church Looks Like
This church and the house next to it, called a manse (where a minister might live), are made from red brick. These bricks were made right there in the local area. The building has two floors and a roof shaped like a triangle, which is called a gabled roof.
The roof is covered with two types of tiles: Welsh slate and pantiles. On the front of the church, there is a round sign. It says 'Providence Chapel 1806'. Above that, 'United Reformed Church' is painted. A flat-roofed entrance area was added to the front between 1859 and 1864.
Inside the Church
Inside, the church has fancy plaster decorations on the walls and ceiling. It also has almost all of its original box pews. These are like old wooden benches with high sides. This makes it the oldest independent church in Lincolnshire that still has its first seats.
History of the Church
The church was built a long time ago in 1806. It served its community for many years. The church eventually closed its doors around 1993.
