Middlegate Congregational Church, now offices. 1870. By JT Bottle. Converted to municipal offices in 1990 by Peter Codling. Cut Quarry and Quaternary flint with Lincolnshire Limestone ashlar dressings. Slate roofs. Nave, aisles, transepts and chancel.

EXTERIOR: the west front has the gabled nave and aisles separated by buttresses rising to pointed finials. Two arched west doors, now glazed, with the doors used internally as shutters. Arched doorway to the aisles also. Five-light west window in geometric style under a flushwork arch. To the right and left returns of the aisles is a projecting staircase turret with a band of encircled quatrefoils. Four aisle bays defined by stepped buttresses and pierced by two and three-light windows. On the south side is a door of 1990. Eight paired clerestory windows. The roof has acquired velux roof lights. The transepts are blind to the west except for an arcade of shallow niches but terminate in their gables ends with large rose windows above a continuing arcade of niches. The east end has a semicircular projection marking the sanctuary dome and several inserted windows.

INTERIOR: divided into offices and floored. The arcade posts are circular. The transept crossing arches are elaborated roof trusses: arched braces with traceried spandrels. Crown post roof to the west end, the east end has the posts removed.
