Tabernacle United Reformed Church

The Tabernacle United Reformed Church, originally known as the Congregational Tabernacle, was built in 1808 and enlarged in 1872 with a new interior designed by T. Thomas of Swansea. The church is constructed from coursed rubble limestone with ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. It has a rectangular shape with a single-storey lobby at the south-east end. At the north-west end, it is attached to church rooms and a manse house, which are not of special interest.

The church features a three-window arrangement on two levels, with a central pediment that projects forward on the south-west side only. The pointed-arched windows have Y-tracery and are fitted with 20th-century obscured glass. The corners of the building have long and short quoins, and the projecting eaves are adorned with plain mutules. The pediment has slanted mutules and a datestone in the tympanum, topped with a bold finial. The end gables are pedimented, and there are two pointed-arched windows at the upper level of the south-east end.

The lobby has a lean-to design with an offset buttressed parapet end wall, and the buttresses feature pointed finials. The central doorway in the long south-east wall of the lobby is moulded, hooded, and pointed arched, with a small gable above the parapet. On either side of the doorway are two-light trefoil-headed lancets, and there is a single trefoil-headed lancet in the end return walls. The main body of the church has a shaped panel in the enriched pediment that contains the inscription: 'THE/TABERNACLE/AD 1808'.

Inside, the church has a gallery on three sides with a panelled front supported by cast-iron pillars with stiff-leaf capitals. The interior also features fine fretwork panelling on a Gothic revival octagonal-fronted timber pulpit, a moulded ceiling, moulded wall panelling, and a set of panelled box pews. There are numerous memorials from the late 18th and 19th centuries. The church is prominently situated on a rise at the west end of the town centre.
