Schoolroom at Capel Moriah

The schoolroom at Capel Moriah was originally built as a Calvinistic Methodist chapel. It features unpainted render with a slate half-hipped roof and red terracotta ridge tiles. The lateral facade includes rusticated quoins, four arched windows, two arched doors, and a central plaque. The two long central windows have moulded arched hoods and keystones, while the two narrower outer gallery windows have similar hoods that extend down further on each side. The two six-panel arched doors are set in pilastered surrounds with matching moulded arches and keystones. The glazing is from the 20th century, but the doors may be original from the mid-19th century. The right end wall features an arched window above and a square-headed window below, while the left end window is blocked, and there is a small addition at ground level.

Inside, the walls are plastered, and the ceiling is flat with painted boards, simple ribbing, and a central roundel. A five-sided painted timber gallery is supported by four fluted iron columns. The gallery front consists of long panels with turned column shafts between them, and the capitals sit under rounded projections in the moulded top rail, with bases above a deep lower cornice and frieze. The sides of the gallery have two long panels, with the canted angles having one long panel each, and the center features three panels, including two short ones on each side of a central roundel that was originally intended for a clock. The original pews and pulpit have been removed. There is a plain boarded dado and a small plaster arched pulpit back situated between the front windows, featuring undercut plasterwork on the arch. Two small lobbies are enclosed with glazing. The rear of the gallery has two arched windows above with marginal glazing bars, along with a door to the vestry and a window with marginal bars below. The underside of the gallery is sloping and plastered, and there are plain panel-backed raked pews in the gallery.
