Description
Hanover Chapel is a chapel built in 1839 from coursed and squared brown sandstone rubble, topped with a natural slate roof. It has a rectangular plan and features two windows on the short sides and a central window on the long sides. The entrance front consists of three bays with tall windows that have semi-circular heads and stone architraves, flanking panelled double doors with four fielded panels over a flush base. Above the doorway is a late 19th-century gabled timber hood with carved brackets and a spike finial, and the windows are designed with 12 over 16 panes. A small panel between the window heads reads 'HANOVER ERECTED 1839'. The road elevation includes a single central window, and the roof is hipped in that direction.
The rear elevation is slate hung and features two tall windows in arched stone frames, set more closely together than those on the entrance front, flanking the 'high seat' within. The graveyard elevation is partially obscured by an added gabled schoolroom, which has 20th-century replacement windows in brick frames and a 20th-century red brick lean-to extension.
Inside, the chapel is galleried on three sides with slim cast iron supports, which are part of the original construction. The galleries contain their original benches. The furnishings in the main body of the chapel date from 1892-1893 and were created by Edwin Foster of Abergavenny, including the high seat situated between the rear windows. The interior has remained unaltered since its last significant update.
