Capel Elim Parc (Baptist Chapel) with Baptismal Pool

Capel Elim Parc is a Baptist chapel featuring a baptismal pool, built in 1850. The chapel is accessed through its long wall and includes a later vestry extension on the right and an open-air baptismal pool at the rear. The exterior is characterized by rough rendered stonework, with a smooth render surrounding the openings and providing corner rustication. The roofs of both the chapel and vestry are slate, with a tile ridge and an end chimney on the vestry. The vestry has larger and thinner slates. The building features timber barge-boards and ogee cast iron rainwater goods.

The front elevation is symmetrical, showcasing tall round-arched windows flanked by two deep-set entrance doors. A datestone from 1850 is located between the arches. The side walls are blank, while the rear elevation has two small windows. Access to the vestry is via a side staircase. The windows are adorned with glazing bars that are decoratively curved at the top, with the front windows containing 16 main panes and the rear windows having four panes. The doors are plank-style, replacing earlier four-panel doors, and feature timber fanlights. The windows have clear handmade glass, with coloured panes at the top of the rear windows. The vestry includes nine-pane sash windows at the front and eight-pane sash windows on each floor of the right elevation. The front window beneath the vestry has an upper sash of eight panes and a solid lower sash, along with a four-pane side window. Boarded doors lead to each area, with a modern semi-glazed door at the rear.

Inside, plain encaustic tiles are present at each entrance. The chapel contains eight rows of pews arranged in four blocks with two passages, plus two rows of pews on the sides facing the pulpit. A small sedd fawr is included but not differentiated. The interior features plain panelled construction with a central division and doors. The pulpit is notable for its panelled octagonal front, with panels separated by colonettes that support a moulded top. It is flanked by a balustrade and straight staircases with turned newels and balusters, decorative knobs, and moulded handrails. The preacher's position has a tall panelled back and a panelled dado on the sides. The flat ceiling is divided into squares, featuring two concentric lozenges at the center. The baptismal pool, located at the rear, is rendered and lined with brick, measuring approximately 3 meters by 1.5 meters, with steps at each end.
