Description
Providence Baptist Chapel is a small chapel built parallel to the road, with an attached two-storey manse featuring three windows located to the east. The building has rendered walls with projecting rusticated quoins and a projecting plinth, all painted white. The chapel has a slate roof with a porch that has UPVC trim at the verges, and decorative crest ridge tiles. A decorative tile finial is situated at the west apex. The front and rear elevations each have two pointed windows with stone Y tracery and sills, along with one window in the porch gable to the west, all featuring coloured margin glazing. Additionally, there is a small quatrefoil light in the apex of the chapel gable and a small trefoil light in the apex of the porch. The manse has a pitched slate roof and four-pane sash windows, also whitewashed.
Access to the chapel is through the west porch, which has ledged, framed, and battened double external doors. Inside, there are double two-panel doors leading into a tall, plain interior that contains two ranges of pews. A simple pulpit is located at the east end, featuring a curtained front and a curtain backdrop. The roof consists of a two-bay scissor beam design with boarding on three purlins on each side. Above the pulpit is a shield painted with the words 'Providence, Knelston, Gower, 1858'. There are also two small war memorial plaques on the side walls.
