Description

Addoldy MC Pennal is a Methodist Chapel built of small local rubble with brick dressings and a slate roof. Constructed in an Edwardian classical style, the main front faces west and features squared rock-faced ashlar with buff terracotta dressings. The symmetrical elevation includes a central door with a window above, both enclosed in shallow pilasters that rise above a moulded string to form a keyed architraved arch and pediment. The entrance has double part-glazed doors set back within a segmental headed opening. The window above is mullioned and transomed, with the upper lights featuring cambered heads and all containing leaded quarries. The tympanum above the string bears a dedicatory inscription. Flanking the central feature are two tall arches containing 2-light twice transomed windows below the string. The entire elevation is framed by end pilasters that rise to corniced caps, creating end stops for the raking gable, which has a small keyed oculus in its upper part. The side elevations have four round-headed windows with margin glazing, while the north side is rendered.

The front yard is enclosed by iron spear-headed railings mounted on a dwarf rubble wall, with corner piers and additional piers beside the central pair of matching iron gates.

Inside, there is a ceiled timber entrance lobby that leads to a plain interior dating from 1869, which has been modified later. The walls are plastered, and there is an arched recess with a semicircular headed architrave on consoles behind the pulpit in the east wall. The flat ceiling features an openwork band set within a plain wide margin, with recessed angles and circular features in each angle, along with a further circular roundel at the center. The lobby includes a window with cast glass and a clock by J Rees of Machynlleth above it. The seating consists of box pews arranged in three blocks separated by side aisles, with the rear pews slightly raked. The set fawr is enclosed in pine, and the pulpit is raised, featuring a baluster gallery around the top and a desk set forward with its bookstand supported on corbels.
