Description

Capel Ebenezer is a small chapel built with its long wall facing the road, positioned on elevated ground. Constructed from local rubble limestone masonry, it features a slate roof that is half-hipped at both ends, with tile ridge and hip covers. The chapel has two pointed single light windows with iron lattice glazing flanking the entrance on the north side, two similar windows in the far gable on the south, and three windows overlooking the road on the west. There is a single wooden-framed window on the east elevation, which has replaced an earlier sash window. A modern porch, rendered and painted cream, includes double doors. A date plaque is located at the center of the gable and appears to have been slightly moved upwards when the porch was added.

Inside, a blocked opening indicates where a basement once existed, which was reportedly a small stable for the minister's horse, accessible from the road. The chapel is entered through a lobby that has a single window with obscured glass and a door on each side. The interior is plain, featuring dark stained pine; the pulpit has a single panel front and twin stairs with a moulded handrail, turned balusters, and newels topped with ball finials. There is a slight wall recess behind the pulpit with a moulded archivolt on hanging caps, all crafted in plaster. The square set fawr is accompanied by plain pews, with those on the side turned to face inwards. The wall dado is boarded, and the ceiling is divided by two beams into three bays, with a fibrous plaster leafed feature at the center of each bay.
