Description
Capel Ty Mawr is a chapel with an adjoining chapel house, built in a single line. It is two stories tall, with an external render that features incised lines to simulate stone, and a slate roof. The front facade has a central pair of tall 20-pane sash windows with thin slate sills, flanked by gabled entrance porches that contain ledged double doors and rectangular overlights. On the first floor, there are 9-pane sash windows on either side of the chapel name 'TY MAWR', which is displayed in raised letters in the middle. Below this, a small incised slate tablet is inscribed with 'Pregetha'r Gair; / bydd daer. PAUL / Gwrandewch, / a bydd byw eich / enaid ESAY / 1799'. The west elevation features two large 16-pane sashes in the middle, with small 9-pane sashes above on either side. The chapel house, located to the right under the same roof, has a 20th-century half-glazed door on the ground floor and a 20th-century plastic window in an earlier opening above.
Inside, the chapel has a large square space that is open to the roof. The line of the former gallery stair is traced into the plaster of the north wall. The pews are arranged in tiered rows, featuring panelled backs and shaped ends, with a double centre block and two side blocks alongside the Big Seat. The side walls are close-boarded to dado level. The boarded ceiling is divided by moulded ribs into 12 patterned panels, with six inset ventilators. The Big Seat is raised on a square platform, and the deacons' seat forms a square enclosure in front, with moulded rectangular panels at the base, a moulded handrail, and lobed finials on the bench ends. A small panelled reading desk is coved out from the front of the deacons' seat, with recessed panels that are partly chamfered with straight-cut stops and plain corners. The square pulpit breaks forward at the center, supported by squat wooden columns, with quarter round columns at the angles. The sides of the pulpit have flush panels, and the top features a dentil frieze and a coved section below the moulded handrail.
