Background

Description

The chapel is a simple, brick-built, rectangle with two small rear extensions. The front is ‘relieved’ by an impressive entrance of rendered brick. The interior is plain and functional with a small lobby underneath a gallery that runs down the sides and rear of the chapel. The side galleries are supported by fluted columns with ornate capitals that divide the interior into aisles. In the middle stands a dominant pulpit where the Minister would be able to see the whole of his congregation. The pulpit is situated below a scrolled banner painted on the wall which proclaims “Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness” .
