Description
Hunslet Baptist Tabernacle is a Baptist chapel and vestries built between 1835 and 1837, with alterations and enlargement around 1880. The building is constructed of brick, with the front rendered, and features a hipped slate roof with dentilled eaves. It has an almost square layout with four bays by four bays, situated on a steeply sloping site that includes a lower two-storey bay at the rear.
The central porch is single-storey and has two six-panel doors with a semicircular overlight, along with a cornice and blocking course. There are round-headed windows on the flanks and first floor, with keystones on the ground floor and moulded impost and sill bands. The left and right returns are not rendered, displaying brick arches and stone sills for the windows.
While the interior was not seen, it is noted to contain 19th-century gallery and fittings. This chapel is one of the earliest Nonconformist chapels in the area, with an attendance of 93 people recorded in 1845. Attendance figures increased from 142 to 230 between 1880 and 1886, coinciding with the period of alterations made to the building.
