Tabernacle Chapel and Caretaker's House, including Forecourt Walls, Gates & Railings

The Tabernacle Chapel and its caretaker's house date to 1832, with substantial alterations in 1902 and a further simplification of the roofline in 1986. The chapel originally presented a lateral front with two long central windows, a pedimented entrance, and arched windows above. The 1902 alterations involved a large projecting central organ chamber, flanking porches, and new stucco cladding. In 1986, a cornice and pediments were removed from each side, the central pediment was lowered, and a steep, French-style slate roof was taken down.

The front of the chapel is painted stucco with slate roofs. The prominent central projection features a large arched window with exuberant tracery, composed of six lower lights beneath a Gothic rose window. Smaller arched windows are set between low buttresses, topped by a bracketed cornice and a pediment containing a cusped roundel, with plain bargeboards added in 1986. Traceried single lights are found in the return walls. The porches of 1902 have bracketed coping, a central gable with a large arched doorway and small arched windows on either side, and blank, cusped roundels in the gables. Panelled double doors are fitted with leaded fanlights. Stepped buttresses rise from the porch coping to the side walls of the central projection. Upper windows are arched, with stucco surrounds and timber tracery dating to 1902. Panelled outer pilasters once related to small eaves gablets.

The forecourt is enclosed by a yellow brick wall with slate coping, and a low iron railing with spearheads. There are two pairs of matching gates set between cast-iron piers with ball finials, all dating to 1902 and designed by S Kelly of Cardigan.

The rear of the chapel is a rubble three-window, two-storey structure with leaded glazing installed in 1902. The caretaker's house, situated on the street line to the right, is stuccoed, plain, one-window wide and two-storey high, with sash windows and a door on the right. A single first-floor window faces south.

Inside the chapel, a handsome curved-ended panelled gallery from around 1864 features raked pews and slim, fluted columns. Long panels are set between pilasters. The flat ceiling displays a very elaborate acanthus rose. The 1902 curvaceous pulpit has turned balusters and curving steps on either side. A large organ, installed in 1904, fills the recess behind the pulpit, accompanied by decorative flat-balustered screens. The panelled organ case is set within a pilastered recess, surmounted by a panelled, flattened arch, and a traceried window is obscured behind.
