The United Reformed Church (formerly the Providence Chapel) is a 19th-century church and a Grade II* Listed building in Barton-upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire, England. It is the oldest surviving Independent chapel in Lincolnshire.

Architecture

The church and its associated manse is constructed of locally-made red brick. It is a two-storey building with a gabled roof. The roof is tiled in Welsh slate and pantiles. A circular panel in the front elevation is inscribed 'Providence Chapel 1806', over which it is painted 'United Reformed Church'. A flat-roofed porch was added in 1859–1864.

The interior retains elaborate plasterwork decoration and a nearly intact series of original box pews. It is the oldest surviving independent chapel in Lincolnshire with its original seating intact.
