Description
Salem Baptist Chapel is a chapel featuring cement render and a slate roof, complete with an end chimney. It has a gable entry design and a large full-width gabled addition at the front. The chapel includes pointed openings, with three windows featuring later 19th-century Y-tracery on each side wall. The east gable has similar windows on each side and a pointed blank window in the gable, all situated above a broad porch addition. The porch has a slightly advanced center with a datestone from 1840, above a small pointed blank recess and a tall pointed door. The set-back bays on each side contain single tall pointed blank recesses. At the rear, there is a west lean-to vestry with a pointed door beneath a blank pointed recess in the north end wall. An applied sandstone plinth surrounds both the chapel and the porch.
Inside, the chapel has a plain whitewashed interior with a gallery at the entrance end. It features late 19th-century or early 20th-century pews, and a minimal pulpit enclosed by a plain balustraded rail. The gallery is supported by two square fluted timber piers and has a plain front with a moulded top rail and a simple moulded cornice below the piers. The raked gallery floor contains two rows of old panelled pews and three rows of benches. The single flight of gallery stairs has stick balusters and one turned bulbous newel. There are double doors leading into the porch, with a panelled dado on each side and part of the north wall.
