Description
North Road Baptist Chapel is a Baptist chapel built in 1878 by George Morgan of Carmarthen, designed in an early Decorated Gothic style. The building is constructed from rock-faced grey rubble stone with Bath stone dressings and features a slate roof. The design is notable for its large gable end tripartite facade, which is divided by two stepped buttresses that have ashlar panels at mid-height and slim octagonal finials. The gable is coped and shouldered, with side buttresses that continue down the five-bay sides.
The entrance features paired doors set within an ornate raised doorcase of pointed arches, which includes a carved central column and plate-traceried tympana displaying the words 'Built' and '1878' beneath paired hoodmoulds adorned with purple stone voussoirs. Above the doors is a large pointed window, divided into two 2-light traceried windows with sexfoil heads, topped by a central octofoil. The window also has a hoodmould and purple stone voussoirs, along with an apex lancet vent. Each side of the chapel has a single lancet window that mirrors the design of the main entrance.
The sides of the chapel feature long windows that are separated by a quatrefoil band at the gallery level. The rear of the building includes a narrower projection for the organ gallery and a northeast schoolroom.
Inside, the chapel has a collar-truss roof that is ceiled over the collars and supported by deep arched braces. There is a four-sided gallery held up by florid cast-iron columns, with curved angles and pierced cast-iron long panels at the gallery front. The choir gallery is two bays wide and has a plain arch leading to the main chapel and organ. The pulpit and great seat are finished with pitch-pine Gothic rails.
