Description
Nebo Independent Chapel is a square-plan building with rendered walls and a hipped slate roof that features overhanging flat eaves supported by paired brackets. The roof is adorned with terracotta ridge tiles and finials. The front facade includes two arched windows, a large central arched door, and a small arched plaque, all set in raised stucco surrounds. The windows are small-paned sashes with intersecting bars in arched heads. There are earlier 20th-century double doors with a fanlight and leaded glazing that displays the word 'Nebo' in white letters. The side elevations are two stories high with three windows each, where plastic windows have replaced the original cambered-headed 12-pane sashes, and the window heads are recessed. The rear wall is entirely slate-hung, using rough local slates.
Inside, the chapel has a square layout featuring an unusual four-sided gallery supported by seven thin iron columns. The gallery front consists of long horizontal panels with square panels in between, and the fourth side extends over the entrance lobby. The interior includes panelled painted grained pews with doors arranged in three blocks, with the rear pews raked upwards. There are also some inward-facing raked pews on either side of the pulpit. The three-sided set fawr is also panelled with doors. The pulpit, which backs onto the lobby, features a panel front with a bookrest and ornate open neo-Jacobean fretwork rails on each side. Below the pulpit are three seats, with the centre seat having carved scrolled armrests. Steps lead up each side of the pulpit, with ramped rails over the panelling, and above the rails is a piece of pierced fretwork that fills out the curve, along with further fretwork over the curved rear corners of the platform. The timber pulpit back is topped with a thick crest of opposed scrolls in an ogee form. There are traceried windows on either side leading into the lobby, and the ceiling is boarded with a plaster cornice. The lobby features stone steps that lead up to the gallery.
