# St Andrew, Glanton

St Andrew’s United Reformed Church on West Turnpike, Glanton, Northumberland, is a Grade II former Presbyterian chapel of 1783, listed as Branton and Glanton United Reformed Church.

## Overview

Historic England records a United Reformed church, formerly Presbyterian, of 1783, with a porch and stair projection of 1912 by George Reavell of Alnwick. The eighteenth-century part is a simple rectangular preaching box in squared stone with cut dressings; the 1912 work is tooled squared stone with ashlar dressings. The Welsh slate roof carries a timber belfry under a lead cap. The street front is dominated by the 1912 extension: half-glazed double doors in a lugged architrave, a stair projection with rusticated angle pilasters and an arched window under an open pediment. Behind, the 1783 church keeps slender raised angle pilasters and windows in raised stone surrounds.

Inside, a panelled east gallery (remodelled in 1912 from older material) stands on two round columns with a fluted frieze and modillion cornice. Other woodwork, including numbered pews with pew-rent card frames, is of 1912. In 1978 the Glanton congregation combined with Branton after the Presbyterian and Congregational union that formed the URC.
