Description

Moose Hall, built around 1813, is the first Methodist Chapel in Neath. It is a two-storey building with a four-bay front, constructed from squared rubble laid in narrow courses, featuring a plinth and limestone dressings. The corners are emphasized with stressed regular quoins. The moderately pitched slate roof has modern bargeboards and plain eaves.

On the first floor, the bays are recessed between pilasters with stressed quoins, which are doubled at the extreme left and right. The stonework under the eaves is plain. The round arched windows have dressed stone architraves and blind tympani, with small paned two-light casement windows and a continuous sill band.

The ground floor features similar architraves, but the windows are blocked with painted-on glazing bars. There is a similar round arched doorway at the extreme right, which has a blind fanlight and a modern door. The end elevations are pebble-dashed, with a round arched window to the left and a wall at first floor level. There is a modern doorway on the ground floor and a rectangular window on the right end elevation, which is partially blocked and has a small paned casement window. A later chapel adjoins the rear, with pebble-dashed elevations and a hipped slate roof, which includes a partly blocked deep round arched window.

Local climate

Moose Hall sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,380 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
