History

Calvinistic Methodist chapel rebuilt in 1867. The chapel was first built in 1786 and opened by Thomas Charles, and was rebuilt in 1812. The lateral facade is a late example of the type, and may represent the survival of the plan of the previous building.

Exterior

Chapel, rock-faced squared grey limestone with slate roof and cornice-profiled cast-iron gutters. Lateral facade of 4 large arched windows with arched door between first and second windows and arched plaque over door. Limestone ashlar chamfered flush surrounds with stone voussoirs and steeply sloped stone sills. Small-paned glazing with radiating bar heads to sashes. C20 door with Y-tracery to big fanlight. End gables have overhanging verges and timber pendant finials. Chamfered plinth. Ty Capel (separately listed) is attached to right end. Left end wall has 2 arched windows and reset 1786 date plaque with Biblical texts. Rear has 3 arched windows with stone voussoirs.

Interior

No galleries. Coffered plaster ceiling with 2 roses and 2 ovals in centre band. Raked pews, curved back to great seat with cast-iron ornate rail. Pulpit front with plain gothic panels, and big plaster arch behind with ornate consoles and Y-tracery in arch panel.
