Description
Raglan Baptist Chapel is a red brick building featuring a hipped roof covered with 20th-century concrete tiles. It has a rectangular plan with the entrance located at one short end. The eaves are flat boarded. The east front has three bays with arched windows set in arched recesses; the central window is half-length and positioned above double four-panel doors. The brick door head and window arches are notable, and the facade is enhanced by raised angle strips and a band beneath the eaves. A flat-roofed timber porch supported by two iron columns is present, along with an affixed Phoenix Insurance plaque.
The long side walls have three windows each, featuring similar arched long windows that are not recessed. The rear of the chapel is windowless and has a small gabled vestry attached, which includes two west-facing windows and a door at the north end. The chapel's windows were renewed in the 20th century and have square panes with radiating bars leading to arched heads, along with stone sills. The brickwork on the front is in Flemish bond, while the rest of the building displays a varied garden-wall bond.
Inside, there are plain later pews and a pulpit, with a later 19th-century or early 20th-century organ by Blackett & Howden located behind the pulpit. An entrance end gallery features enclosed stairs at the northeast corner, supported by two thin fluted iron columns. The gallery has a timber grained front with vertical panels, a cornice beneath, and a moulded top rail. The plaster ceiling includes a coved cornice and three acanthus roses.
