Capel Libanus

This is a small Congregational chapel built in the Arts and Crafts style and dated 1907. The chapel has rendered, pebble-dashed walls, with a slight batter to those around the entrance porch and continuous tile dripcourses. The openings are recessed with rendered, painted dressings. It has a slate roof with clay ridge tiles, projecting feathered eaves and verges with plain barge boards, originally featuring finials that have since been removed. The entrance gable is symmetrical, with a central porch featuring a segmentally headed opening. Flanking the porch are round-headed recesses containing 12-pane lower lights with 24-pane leaded, top-hung casements above. Above the porch is a segmentally headed recess with three 6-pane fixed lights, above which is the name 'Libanus' and the date 'AD 1907' under a tile dripcourse at the gable apex. The side elevations are articulated by four mullioned and transomed windows, reflecting the internal division of the chapel into four constructional bays. Each window has four 3-pane leaded lights above the transoms and four 3-pane lights with glazing bars below.

The entrance leads through half-glazed double doors into a rectangular, panelled lobby with half-glazed side entrance doors. The chapel itself has four roof bays and features a coved plaster ceiling of deeply recessed panels with moulded dividers, set in from the side walls on scrolled corbels and with panelled soffits and moulded dividers. Glass lamp bowls, contemporary with the building, are suspended from the ceiling. The walls are plastered and painted, with tongued and grooved boarded panelling to the lower half. The chapel's fittings are consistently detailed in a Renaissance style. A rectangular, raised set fawr (minister's seat) is positioned opposite the entrance, constructed of pine panelling with a moulded rail. The similarly detailed pulpit is canted and raised by two steps, also pine-panelled, with fluted piers in the angles and a moulded cornice. Boarded panelling behind the pulpit is flanked by panelled doors, above which is a strongly moulded modillion cornice, segmentally arched between the doorways and panelled in the recess below, the segmental arch mirroring the arch of the ceiling. The pews are made of pitch pine with a central double block and two single blocks, separated by side aisles.
