The ventilation is another feature of the chapel, access to which at the main entrance is by means of double doors at the rear, one on either side of the structure. In the centre of the back wall has been set a large ornamental window, the rays of light from this being thrown on to the polished altar, which is of ingrained wood and in keeping with the surroundings. The seating accommodation is sufficient for 100 persons. The chapel is the only one of its kind in the northern district. There are all necessary appointments for such a building, including an organ. The chapel has along its front boundary a dwarf, ornamental fence, with a single gate for pedestrians and a double gate at the side available for carriages and cars.
