Description

The front walls and gates of Moriah Methodist Chapel date back to the 19th century. The chapel features a lawned forecourt that is enclosed from the road by low rubble stone walls topped with pointed copings. These walls are symmetrical and curve inward towards taller cylindrical gate piers that have stepped tops. Originally, these piers supported tall urns, similar to those found on the opposite Caernarfon Gates.
