It is of neo Gothic style with spire and was designed by TH & F Healey of Bradford.

The Bridge Church is the United Reformed Church in Otley, and is situated close to the bridge over the River Wharfe and the town centre which lies at the foot of 'The Chevin’.

Despite being a former Congregational Church, it is more Anglican in its design and has many fine points including its lofty nave, carved light oak woodwork and a Nativity east window by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, which is a First World War memorial.
