Description

The chapel is stuccoed apart from a stone plinth. Its front elevation is of three windows and has pavilion porches at each side separately roofed. The roofs are of low pitch, slated with boarded eaves. Pilasters define each bay of the front elevation; broader corner pilasters with recessed panels. The centre window is round-headed and the others segmental-headed; later glazing has been fitted with margin panes in coloured glass. Small central datestone with the wording 'Mount Pisgah Chapel 1822'. Central gabled porch with round-arch and panelled double doors. Set back slightly at each side is a small single-storey block in the manner of a pavilion. Both are advanced to centre and given open-pediment treatment with broad round-arched recesses containing similarly arched doorways, both with fanlights and panelled doors. The 2-window side elevations have wide casement windows with marginal glazing.

The interior is open by an arcade of two small arches to the left pavilion, and by a doorway to the right pavilion. In addition the central doorway leads to a timber screened vestibule, with tiled floor, and side doors leading to the interior. The original chapel floor has been lost and the present pews are all late C19. At the front there is a dais with a C19 gothic organ case, recently acquired, a table and a corner pulpit in the Anglican manner.
