Description
Tabernacle Baptist Chapel is a small single-cell chapel built in 1837, constructed from roughly squared red sandstone rubble with a Welsh slate roof and tiled ridge. The chapel features windows only in the gable walls. The entrance gable has a 20th-century gabled slated porch over the original plank double doors, flanked by 8 over 16 sash windows with horns in elliptical heads. To the left of the door, there are two nicely engraved but somewhat damaged grave slabs fixed to the wall. The rear gable also has these windows, and both gables are adorned with shaped bargeboards and pendants. An inscribed plaque on the entrance gable reads 'TABERNACLE Baptist Chapel ST. JT. Builders. 1837'.
Inside, the chapel retains a strong original character despite some changes. It features pine dado panelling and vertical panelling on the fronts of the galleries, which run on three sides and are supported by slim iron columns. The 'set fawr' has a panelled front with a cupboard for the Host and twin staircases. Most of these elements appear to date from 1837, along with some of the fixed benches in the galleries, while the pews are later additions. The interior also includes queen post roof trusses, creating a charming and largely unaltered space for the period.
