Albemarle Baptist Church and attached schoolroom, Victorian Baptist church in central Scarborough, England.
The church features a triple arched entrance constructed of dressed stone and white brick, with polychromatic arches and stained glass doors.
The building, designed by Bradford architect Henry Francis Lockwood, opened in 1867 with forty-one initial members under Reverend James Lewitt's leadership.
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 cottage, providing space for educational activities and community gatherings alongside religious services.
In 1914, lightning struck the building, causing a lead gas pipe to burst and ignite, leading to subsequent repairs and modifications.
