Description

Maes-y-neuadd addoldy annibynwyr is a stone-built chapel, rendered and lined out, dating from the 19th century. The lower stage features horizontal V-rustication, and the slate roof originally had two large ventilators, which are now missing. The central entrance consists of a pair of doors with overlights, set within a wide, slightly projecting central bay that is flanked by broad pilasters. There are three small windows in each of the single narrow bays on either side. Above a moulded string at the first floor level, the central bay is flanked by paired Corinthian pilasters that support a heavy cornice and pediment. The dedicatory inscription is located at the center within a moulded frame, and above it is a round-headed paned window with a keystone, flanked by narrow square-headed lights. The front elevation extends to both ends, featuring a steep pitched gabled pediment with wide pilasters and a high set small window in a classical frame. The sides of the chapel have four bays of margin-glazed windows, with the upper ones being round-headed.

The vestry at the rear is wider than the chapel on the east side and has a hipped roof that projects forward over a porch. The large chapel can seat approximately 600 people and includes a gallery with a panelled front and a modillion cornice that curves around three sides, supported by cast iron Corinthian columns painted to resemble marble. The seating is slightly raked, and the set-fawr features benches with upholstered backs within galleried panelling, along with a raised pulpit. Behind the pulpit, there is a classical arch on paired pilasters topped with a pediment. The walls are plastered and lined to mimic ashlar, with a dado below. A facetted pearl light fitting is set in the center of the moulded compartmented ceiling, which also features plaster rosettes. There is a clock positioned over the pulpit. The vestry is separated from the chapel by a service range that includes a small meeting room, and the vestry itself contains a pulpit imported from Aberdovey in 1874, partitioned by a glazed screen.
