Union Street Baptist Church, Crewe

Union Street Baptist Church is a brick and tile church building in Crewe featuring a rectangular layout across five bays with Gothic styling. The interior includes a gallery on all sides supported by cast iron columns, with a raised tiled baptistry positioned below.

Architect J. Wallis Chapman designed the building in 1882 to serve railway workers, with construction finishing in 1884. The structure was later designated Grade II listed, recognizing its importance to the town's development.

The church serves as a visual anchor along Union Street with its distinctive red brick presence that draws attention. The building remains a gathering place where the local Baptist community continues to practice their faith and gather for events.

The building sits conveniently between the town center and railway station on Union Street, making it easily reachable on foot or by transport. Parking is available on site and interior spaces accommodate gatherings and community events.

A two-manual pipe organ crafted by Ernest Wadsworth from Manchester was installed in the gallery space in 1922. This instrument adds a distinctive acoustic quality to the interior that visitors may notice during services or quiet moments.
