Description
Peniel Chapel, which includes a hall addition at the rear, is constructed of coursed, rough-dressed rubble and features a half-hipped slate roof. The chapel section resembles a symmetrical storied terrace block and has two entrances with late 19th-century Tuscan stone porches that include simple pillars, pilasters, and entablatures. Each entrance has 6-panel double doors topped with rectangular fanlights, and there are two windows on both the ground and gallery levels. The outer windows illuminate the gallery stairs, while the inner windows light the chapel and the gallery above. All windows are framed with heavily-moulded late 19th-century stucco architraves that have scrolled brackets supporting projecting slate cills. The ground floor windows feature plain, projecting keystones also supported by scrolled brackets. The glazing consists of late 19th-century sash windows with 4 and 8 panes, including decorative enamelled glass in the latter. Between the larger chapel windows, there is a recessed slate plaque inscribed with a dedication and the date 1839.
To the left of the block is the minister's house, which has three floors and two bays. The windows here are smaller, with plain sash glazing, featuring single windows on the upper floors and twin windows on the ground floor. The entrance is located on the left gable end and consists of a late 19th-century 4-panelled door with shouldered-arched glazed upper panels, accompanied by additional 4-pane sashes to the left. Both gable ends and the rear of the house are slate-hung, with the rear featuring windows that have marginal glazing, although one original small-paned sash window from 1839 remains on the top storey of the minister's house section.
At the rear, connected by a single-storey range with a modern porch, is a late 19th-century chapel hall. This hall is also built of rubble and slate with half-hipped gable ends. It has two 12-pane sashes on the inner side and four similar windows on the outer long sides, along with a central 20-pane window on the northeast-facing gable, flanked by narrow 8-pane sashes. Throughout, the windows are accented with plain stucco architraves and projecting slate cills.
The interior was not accessible during the inspection in June 1995.
