Description
Summerhill Baptist Chapel was built in 1866 to the design of architects Habershon & Fawckner of Newport. The chapel was then rebuilt/modified in 1878 (vestry and 7 classrooms, organ and organ loft), 1889( organ moved and galleries built), 1893 (stained glass window) and 1907-8 (new front vestibule, lighting, heating and ventilation systems and extension). The present chapel is built in the Romanesque style with a gable-entry plan, two storeys and a wheel window with stained glass. Summerhill is now Grade 2 Listed as an interesting essentially mid-nineteenth century chapel.
