Tabor Baptist Chapel Including front wall, Railings, Bwlchmawr

Tabor Baptist Chapel, built in 1792, features a gable front and is rendered with a slate roof, bracketed eaves, and an open pedimental gable. On the gable, there is a recessed plaque that reads ‘Tabor 1792 Capel-y-Bedyddwyr’. The first floor has two renewed stained wood 15-pane sash windows with blank arches above them. A central plaque states: ‘Tabor WG Adeiladwyd 1792, WG Helaethwyd 1815, JH/TE MACPELA 1834, LL Ailadeiladwyd 1843, JWM Adnewyddyd 1882’. On the ground floor, there are arched small-paned windows on either side of an arched door, which features 20th-century stained wood fixed windows with radiating bars and a similar fanlight with marginal glazing bars above the 20th-century double doors.

The west side of the chapel is two-storey with a stucco finish and has two windows featuring horned 16-pane sashes with cambered heads. A vestry addition was made in 1921 by J Teifion Williams of Cardigan. The rear is constructed of rubble stone and has a large arched centre light with sash windows on each floor. The upper floor has a 20-pane window, while the ground floor has a 16-pane window to the left, followed by an outbuilding at a right angle with a 20-pane window to the right. The outbuilding is long, made of rubble stone with an asbestos roof and a 20th-century board front opening.

The front forecourt is enclosed by later 19th-century railings with green dolerite piers and double wrought iron gates.

Inside, the chapel boasts a fine interior with a curved-angle gallery supported by three slim marbled wood columns. There is a marbled cornice beneath the panelled gallery front, and the gallery end is canted towards the pulpit. The woodwork of the pews is grained, and there is a plain great seat. The entrance lobby features three arched windows with coloured glass, and the stairs are located in the angles. The later 19th-century pulpit has cast-iron balusters, and behind it is an arched window with a large late 19th or early 20th-century stained glass window depicting the Good Shepherd. The ceiling is flat with an ornate central domed rose surrounded by an acanthus ring.
