Description
Rehoboth Chapel is a 19th-century building constructed of rubble stone with a slate-hung gable front and a slate roof featuring bracketed eaves. The simple facade includes thin stucco surrounds around a recessed central door, flanked by two narrow 18-pane windows and a fixed centre gallery light composed of twelve panes with coloured glass margin-lights. Above the door is a framed date plaque, and the entrance features boarded doors with a traceried overlight. Some of the window glazing includes crown glass.
The chapel has roughcast two-storey sides with two windows, a plinth, a sill-band, and cambered-headed windows, with 12 panes below and 9 panes above. The rear of the building features two tall arched 18-pane windows with traceried heads.
In front of the chapel, there is a rubble stone wall with rough coping, double iron gates leading to the road, and a single small gate at the upper end, along with slate capped piers. The Burial Ground is located on the opposite side of the lane.
Inside, the painted grained woodwork includes an inner vestibule with gallery steps on each side, two 4-panel doors with overlights leading to the chapel, and a centre window with coloured glass. The raked gallery surrounds three sides of the interior, featuring a panelled front supported by four octagonal timber piers. The pulpit is balustraded with side steps located between the end windows.
