Description
The Unitarian Chapel, now known as the Elim Pentecostal Church, is a building from 1795 featuring a roughcast exterior with a four-window front and two-window side elevations, topped by a hipped slate roof. The front includes two semicircular-headed small pane sash windows with intersecting glazing bars, situated below blocked roundels and flanked by segmental-headed small pane sash windows at the mezzanine levels above and below. The lower segmental windows are likely altered former entrances. A date plaque indicating 1795 is located at the center of the front.
On the left end, there are two semicircular-headed sash windows similar to those on the front, while the right end has blocked openings where a later lower lean-to extension with a chimney stack connects to the Newcastle Hill southwest side, forming an entrance and vestry. The doorways feature an architrave, and the rear is constructed of rubble.
Inside, the chapel has a remodeled rectangular layout. The pulpit and entrances were likely originally located on the front wall. The interior includes modern fittings, colored glass, an arched ceiling, and one small Gothic monument.
