Description
Ebenezer Baptist Chapel was first built in 1821, rebuilt in 1836 and again in 1882, the later to the design of the architect George Morgan of Carmarthen. It is constructed in the Lombardic/Italinate style, with a curving porch decorated with a scalloped parapet, containing a pair of central doorways with trialgular pediments. Above is a large, central round-headed window with Florantine tracery, flanked by two smaller round-headed windows. Other decoration to the facade includes half-height pilasters and a gable decorated with mock machicolations. The present chapel, dated 1882, is now Grade 2 Listed.
