Description

Penuel Baptist Chapel is a 1862 Baptist chapel built from painted squared Cilgerran stone with a slate roof. The building features a gable front with open pedimental bracketed eaves, arched windows, and a door that has recessed stone voussoirs, slate sills, and small-paned glazing. On the sides, there are two long arched windows and two narrow small centre lights with marginal glazing bars, along with centre double ledged doors topped by a radiating-bar fanlight. The chapel stands on a raised plinth, with rubble stone side walls that include two long arched sashes on each side, accented by cut stone voussoirs. The eaves are also bracketed.

The front of the chapel is enclosed by railings on a rusticated low wall made of Cilgerran stone, which has end piers and two slate piers at the entry with double iron gates. The railings feature urns on the main stanchions and spearheads, with a smaller gate leading to the vestry.

The vestry, added in 1908, is designed in a similar style and includes two long arched windows with keystones, an arched centre door, and a roundel above, with three-window sides.

Inside, the chapel has painted grained box pews and a gallery that is raised on two by three plain iron columns marked "T Thomas, Cardigan." The gallery has curved corners, a coved underside, and a panelled front, with the panels featuring planted marginal mouldings rebated at the corners. A clock marked "Penuel 1863" is present, along with a balustraded great seat and pulpit that has a curved front. There is an arched recess behind the pulpit and an ornate centre roundel on the ceiling, which is otherwise plain. The entrance lobby includes a traceried window with a dove descending in stained glass, along with some etched and coloured glass in the corners.
