A non-conformist chapel which opened in 1842 as Welsh Calvinistic Methodist and was known as Mount Zion. It was later transferred to the Presbyterians and finally to the Baptists.

The rear is attached to the old manse cottage which has been altered and modernised.
Interior
Not seen at resurvey.
Reason for designation
