Congregational Chapel, Kirkby Lonsdale

KIRKBY LONSDALE.—The Congregational Church at Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmoreland, has been rebuilt and re-seated, and the entire place remodelled. The seats are centrally placed, with aisles at the sides, are of pitch-pine, and of a substantial character. The aisles, etc., are laid with wood-paving on a bed of concrete. The Communion table and minister's chair have been made from special designs prepared by the architect, and are of an Old English character. The walls are built with limestone shoddies and freestone dressings. The windows are glazed with lead quarries, and the interior has been decorated in a quiet and unpretending manner. The work has been carried out by local contractors, from the designs and under the superintendence of Mr. Robert Walker, M.S.A., architect and surveyor, Windermere.
