Albemarle Baptist Church and attached schoolroom, Victorian Baptist church in central Scarborough, England.
Albemarle Baptist Church is a Victorian Baptist church in central Scarborough with a distinctive design of dressed stone and white brick. The triple arched entrance features polychromatic arches and stained glass doors, while cast iron columns inside support the wooden roof and divide the worship space.
The building was designed by Bradford architect Henry Francis Lockwood and opened in 1867 with a congregation under Reverend James Lewitt's leadership. Lightning struck it in 1914, causing damage that was later repaired and modified.
The iron columns supporting the wooden roof divide the nave and aisles, while nineteenth-century wooden pews, pulpit, and choir stalls fill the interior.
The church includes an attached schoolroom and minister's residence that accommodate educational activities and community gatherings. Visitors can view the interior furnished with wooden pews, pulpit, and choir stalls from the 19th century.
In 1914, lightning struck the building and caused a lead gas pipe to rupture and ignite, causing damage. This dramatic incident led to substantial repairs and modifications that reshaped the structure.
