Description

The Tabernacle Welsh Baptist Chapel cause was established in 1858, and construction of the building began in 1866 to the design of Richard Owen of Liverpool. Completed by 1867, it is built in the Lombardic or Italian style and has a gable entry. The main facade is built in rock-faced stone and has tall round-arched windows in triangular headed recesses flanking a central entry. Above this there is a rose and tripartite window. Set back from the facade are probable stair turrets to each side. It was still in use as a chapel in 1995.

RCAHMW, May 2009.

 

The building, a disused Welsh Baptist Chapel dated 1867, was acquired  in Ramadan (9th Feb) 1996. Interior adapted as prayer hall with capacity of 200. Exterior little altered. Signage above main doorway in English: 'Islamic Cultural Centre'. This record was created by RCAHMW’s Welsh Asian Heritage Project (2023–24), funded by the Welsh Government’s Anti-racist Wales Action Plan.
