The Calvinistic Methodists established the predecessor of Tabernacle on the present site in 1836. In the religious revival of the early years of the 20th Century it was decided to rebuild on the same site.
Tabernacle Presbyterian Chapel, formerly Tabernacle Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, was completed in
1911-12. A Gothic-style Chapel with its front to the main road of the village, including a corner tower and spire which are village landmarks.
It is built of ock-faced local limestone masonry with Bath stone dressings throughout.
There is an exceptional interior with integrally designed organ.
The small vestibule with five-panel window to interior and four-panel doors with art-nouveauish coloured glass, the side doors to the towers at left and right, with stone stairs lead to the gallery.
