Description
Zoar Chapel, a large rectangular building constructed from rubble, features a symmetrical five-bay northern front with entrances and advanced end bays. The chapel has a hipped slate roof with wide eaves. The upper floor windows are arched and have fixed ironwork Gothic glazing bars, while the ground-floor windows have cambered heads and are sash windows. There is a three-bay entrance loggia, which may have been inserted, with a bracket cornice and plain capitals on turned columns, along with a glazed lean-to canopy. The west elevation has six bays with ironwork frames for the ground-floor windows, and the south elevation is slate-hung with a gabled two-storey projection.
Inside, the chapel features a galleried interior with a ribbed plaster ceiling, an organ, a pulpit, and balustraded stairs at the south end. The interior also includes fluted cast-iron columns with bushy foliage, a stencilled cornice, panelled galleried fronts with fluted pilasters, and raked box-pews.
