Tabernacle Welsh Independent Chapel, Grade I listed chapel in Morriston, Wales
The Tabernacle Welsh Independent Chapel features a grand facade with four pairs of Corinthian columns and a central elliptical arch on Woodfield Street.
Built between 1874 and 1877 by architect John Humphrey, the chapel required £15,000 for construction, with its debt cleared through a special service in 1914.
The chapel houses two local choirs and contains Welsh inscriptions, including 'Worship ye the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness' above the organ.
The chapel maintains capacity for 3,000 people and includes specific areas like the Sedd Fawr, a designated section for deacons near the central pulpit.
During restoration work in 2012, workers discovered an 1872 sixpenny piece beneath the original pinnacle, placed by the builder's daughter.
