Description
Saron Baptist Chapel is a chapel constructed from rock-faced brown rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. It features a gable front with paired brackets supporting overhanging verges, and short returns of flat eaves on each side that create a large but minimal open pediment. The gable includes a blank roundel. The central door is flanked by paired small arched lights above and large long arched lights on either side, all featuring brick arches and slight arch rings. The outer windows are adorned with timber Y-tracery, small panes, and cusping in a descending dove form at the apex. The fanlight over the double doors matches this design and includes coloured glass. Narrow centre lights also have very small panes with coloured glass. There are three small inset slate plaques that read: 1828, Saron Baptist Chapel, and 1869. The side walls are rendered and have two similar long arched windows. The rear of the chapel has two 20th-century round windows with coloured glass.
Inside, the chapel is galleried on three sides, featuring a finely grained gallery front supported by painted timber bulbous columns, with the bases raised above pew height. The gallery front has a heavy moulded cornice beneath long framed panels, separated by short panels, including a short panel in the curved angles. The top rail is moulded. The pews are arranged in three blocks, painted to resemble grained wood, with panelled backs, roll-moulded top rails, and low doors. A three-sided set fawr is panelled similarly to the pews. The platform has stairs on each side with stick balusters, and a painted grained three-bay projected front with turned columns that match the stair newels, along with simple Gothic paired cusped-headed panels. A moulded plaster arch is located behind the platform. The lobby features doors on each side of a window with coloured glass margins. The raked gallery pews have stick balusters across the windows. The interior includes a dentil cornice and a three-sided ribbed ceiling with a large central rectangle, the corners cut to form an elongated octagon, and a boarded inner band with eight lozenge-shaped vents, along with a lozenge-shaped centre featuring four similar vents.
