Description

Tabernacl Chapel is a building with cement rendered elevations that are painted, topped with slate roofs. The entrance front features a gable with pinnacles and the inscription "Y Tabernacl" facing the road. A large semi-circular window with square panes and stained glass is located on the upper floor, beneath which is a band of arcading. The ground floor has three round-headed arches, with a central doorway that has panelled double-leaf doors flanked by windows.

The outer bays are advanced and topped with pinnacled domes behind a parapet. The first floor has three narrow windows, while the ground floor features three smaller windows. The side elevations consist of five bays, with round arches for the upper windows and square heads for the ground floor windows, which have marginal bars and hopper-type lower frames.

At the rear, there is a two-storey schoolroom and service block attached at a right angle, featuring three windows on the gable end, with round-headed windows on the first floor and square heads on the ground floor. The side of this block has five bays.

Inside, the chapel has a lofty interior with a raked floor and polished pine box-pews. A balcony runs along three sides, supported by iron columns, with classicising panels on the balcony front. The upper level features tall slender iron columns and steeply raked balcony box pews arranged in three tiers. The ceiling above the balcony is flat and panelled, while the main body of the chapel has a coved and panelled ceiling with a classicising relief band along the sides and diamond panels over six ventilator grilles.

The set fawr enclosure includes curving steps with turned newels and balusters leading up to the pulpit, which is adorned with panelling and small columns. At the rear of the set fawr is a large organ made by Blackett and Howden of Newcastle-on-Tyne, Glasgow, and Cardiff, featuring panelled lower levels, classicising panels on the organ console, and exposed pipes above. The front of the building has an entrance lobby flanked by staircase towers, while the rear block contains a first-floor schoolroom and ground-floor service rooms.
