Saron Baptist Church

Saron Baptist Church is a building made of painted rubble stone with brick dressings, topped by a hipped Welsh slate roof. The windows are round-arched, featuring 3 over 6 small-pane horned sashes with intersecting tracery that may have been replaced. The arched window-heads are made of painted brick, and the sills are stone. The east front includes an added gabled entrance porch with a slate roof, plain bargeboards, and a pointed arched door-head that holds a boarded door. Above the entrance is a stone tablet inscribed with:

SARON CHAPEL BUILT 1826 REBUILT 1865

On either side of the porch, at the first-floor level, there are round-arched gallery windows. The long wall to the north has three tall arched sashes that are irregularly spaced, with the first having 1 small pane and the next two having 8 over 12 small panes. The opposing long wall to the south, which overlooks the burial ground, has three smaller sashes that are more regularly spaced, featuring 3 over 9 panes, along with a boarded door that has a cambered brick head. A modern lean-to is attached to the west end, covering almost the entire wall.

The interior was not inspected during the resurvey, but it is noted to have a charming and unaltered design from 1865, with painted woodwork. The entrance, possibly from the 1820s, features a Y-traceried overlight and panelled double-doors that open directly into the chapel. The ceiling is plain plaster without a cornice, and there is a close boarded dado. To the right, a gallery stair has slender turned balusters. The raked gallery contains open-backed benches with a wooden front and rectangular panels that have plain chamfers. The gallery is supported by two slender cast iron columns, which have shafts decorated with ornamental spiral-turns.

Inside the main chapel, there is a central aisle flanked by blocks of panelled pews. Close-boarded benches create a square 'set fawr' enclosure. The panelled pulpit features a side stair to the left, and both the pulpit and gallery front are adorned with attractive late 19th-century brass lamps that have opaque glass chimneys mounted on projecting wall brackets. A four-panel door to the left of the pulpit provides access to a vestry and a second gallery behind the pulpit, whose purpose and date remain unclear. The front of the gallery is boldly inscribed in Gothic script: 'Praise Waiteth for Thee O God in Zion'.
