Cadw's description
Location
The Tabernacl, also called Capel Bach, lies back from the S side of the street past a row of two cottages set end-on to the road.
History
Built, according to an inscription over the door, in 1831 for the Independent Methodists, a sister to the chapel at Rhoslan, a hamlet within the community, to the N.
Exterior
Built of coursed rock-faced rubble stonework, with a slate roof. Side entry type chapel, with boarded doors at the ends, and two large 4-pane sash windows between. Similar two windows on the S side.
Interior
Not accessible at the time of inspection. Said to be a good example of its period and well-preserved.
Reason for designation
Included as an early chapel for this area, reputedly with a good contemporary interior.
