Description

Carmel Chapel is a Grade II* listed building featuring a colourwashed render and a grouted slate roof. It is a single-storey structure with a roughly central ledged door and a 4-pane horned sash window to the right. The unpainted rendered west wall includes one hornless 16-pane sash window, and there is a 12-pane sash window at the centre rear. Attached to the chapel is the chapel house, known as Plas.

The interior of the chapel is a remarkable example of an early chapel, measuring approximately 5.5 meters square. It has limewashed plastered walls and a timber rail that runs at the height of the front and rear windows, sloping up to follow the line of the eastern pews. There is a central passage between the pews on the east and the pews and pulpit on the west. The pews feature painted panelled fronts and doors, with raised panelling on the backs. There are two rows of raked pews on the east wall, arranged in two blocks, each with a central entry. In the northwest corner, there is a small block of three pews with doors, facing south towards a great seat enclosure. This enclosure is square and has a row of balusters along the top rail over the panelling at the front, a door at the north side, and bench seats on all three sides. The pulpit, located to the left of the window, is panelled, five-sided, and includes a cornice and book rest, with steps leading up from the north. A bench runs along the south wall of the chapel. The lighting includes two oil lamps on turned standards and two hanging oil lamps from the centre painted wishbone truss. The ceiling is boarded and dates from around 1915.
