Description

A small single cell building constructed with uncoursed local rubble stone with long stone quoins, all partially rendered, with a C19 slate roof between raised gable parapets. The S door is near the W end, a pointed arch containing a C19 boarded door with ornamental ironwork. Pointed headed windows both sides, that at the centre of the S side having diamond leaded glazing set in timber transomed 'Y'-tracery, with another further E, and a similar window opposite on the N side. The E window is round headed. The W wall has been rebuilt, and has a square headed high set W window, and corbelled gabled bellcote surmounted by a small stone cross. A slate sundial of the early C19 is set on the S side.

Wall plastered throughout. Roof of 5 bays, defined by C15 arch-braced collar beam trusses with cusped king posts and soffits of the principal rafters, which rise directly from the walls. Windbraces to 2 tiers of purlins. Boarded soffit to the E bay over the chancel at arch-brace level forming a shallow barrel vault. Tiled floor, the chancel raised by a single step. Timber altar rail on iron scrolled stanchions. Reredos behind the altar, formed from the frontal of the former W gallery. Three corbels at the W end are probably the remains of beams supporting the W gallery, lit by the high W window.

Fittings: pulpit, C19, of stained wood. Altar of 1931.

Glass: E window, an Agnus Dei, and S window, 1937 by J A Brymer.

Monuments: on the N wall, engraved slate tablet to Lowry Wynne of Rhwngyddwyrid, d.1719.
