Description
Siloam Baptist Chapel was built in 1838 and rebuilt in 1904. The present chapel, dated 1904, is built in the Simple round-headed style but with intersecting gothic glazing-bars to its windows, probably added in the mid nineteenth century. The glazing of the small-paned windows has now been renewed in simplified form. The chapel lies in a large burial ground and the downhill gable has a central round-headed entrance door flanked by two tall round-headed windows. The side elevations have two similar tall windows and all elevations are simply rendered. The interior has a large modified platform below the shorter two round-headed windows opposite the entrance, there are box pews and an end gallery over the door. This chapel was extended in 1988.
