Description

The Tabernacle Chapel Hall is a single-storey building constructed with snecked rock-faced stone at the front, roughcast walls on the sides and rear, and a slate roof. The front features four round-headed windows with lighter stone dressings, keystones, and Y-tracery. At the right end, there is a yellow-brick lean-to with blue-brick dressings. On the left side, a boarded door is situated beneath a round overlight, accompanied by three round-headed windows facing the street. The left gable end has two round-headed windows with Y-tracery, while the right gable end displays two tiers of two round-headed windows with Y-tracery, with the upper windows illuminating the gallery. At the rear, there are two round-headed windows and, at the right end, a lower gabled wing featuring an end ridge stack and two plain windows in the gable end.

Inside, the hall has a boarded and ribbed ceiling that forms two large central panels with ceiling roses. A stage is present, complete with a panelled proscenium arch. The gallery, located at the opposite end above the entrance, is supported by a single cast iron column with a foliage capital and features an open work cast iron gallery front with a bellied cross section. Beneath the gallery, there is a movable panelled screen.
