Richmond Baptist Church

Richmond Baptist Church is in Breck Road, Liverpool, England. It is a chapel that was built in 1864–65 and was designed by Sir James Picton. The chapel is constructed in common brick with red brick banding and stone dressings. It has a slate roof, is in two storeys, and has round-headed windows containing casements. On the entrance front is a three-bay arcade with Corinthian columns. In the gable above this is a wheel window. Inside the church there are galleries on all four sides carried on fluted cast iron Composite columns.[1][2] The ceiling is flat and coffered. The west gallery and the space below it is separated from the rest of the chapel by late 20th-century walls.[2] On 14 March 1975 the chapel was designated as a Grade II listed building.[1] This grade is the lowest of the three gradings given to listed buildings and is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest".[3]
