Description
Capel Tabernacl, a Welsh Baptist Church, features a wide gabled front constructed with snecked stone facings and pale freestone dressings. It has a slate roof behind a kneelered parapet that is topped with a ball finial. The front includes triple ventilators in a banded frame above a large first-floor arch, which is flanked by arched two-light windows that have hoodmoulds, nook shafts, and diamond glazing. The central section has three windows, with a blind thermal window treatment at the top. A porch gable rises through the sill, and the double doors are adorned with enriched arch-rings and nook-shafts, along with a traceried fanlight. Stepped triple windows illuminate the gallery stairs leading to the outer bays.
The flank elevations have five windows each, and there is a transverse hall range at the rear that continues in a similar style. The property is enclosed by good area railings with twin gates and gatepiers that are topped by lamp-standards.
The interior is said to feature a ribbed barrel-vault decorated with white clouds.
