Description
Tabernacle Chapel is a chapel that has been converted into a museum, built in 1850. It features squared grey rubble with cream dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The design is in a four-bay 'lancet style' with a western extension that includes entrance lobbies and staircases leading to the galleries. The west gable is flanked by twin turrets, one of which extends into a spirelet, and has a 'lancet' corbel table. The building is supported by clamp buttresses and has double lancets in the flanking bays, along with a triple lancet at the west end and a corbel table at the eaves.
Inside, the walls are made of exposed rubble, and there is a gallery on three sides supported by cast iron columns. The ceiling is boarded, but the roof principals are partially exposed and arch-braced in alternate bays. At the east end gable, there is an octofoil light surrounded by 16 small circular openings. A new partition screen has been added under the entrance gallery, and the original seating has been removed to create space for a Roman pavement facsimile from Woodchester Park.
