Description
Hepzibah Baptist Chapel is a chapel built from whitewashed rubble stone, featuring a half-hipped slate roof with red terracotta ridge tiles. The north side wall, which is the original facade, has two arched windows with stone voussoirs and a blocked original door also with stone voussoirs in between. The east end wall is windowless but shows marks of a similar large arched window. There are two plaques dated 1845 and 1853. The south side wall has two arched windows like those on the north side, but one has brick voussoirs while the other has stone. The west end is rendered and includes an arched doorway with plain 20th-century double doors and a blank plastered arch head.
Inside, the chapel has whitewashed plastered walls and a gallery at the west end. Most of the fittings are from the late 19th century, including pitch pine pews and a low pulpit platform with balusters on either side of the pulpit front. The ceiling is boarded, and there is an arched timber panel behind the pulpit with a painted inscription that reads 'Emmanuel God with us'. The gallery appears older, painted with plain vertical panels and supported by two chamfered timber posts.
