Description

Capel Drws-y-coed and Ty Capel is a building in a simple Classical style, constructed from roughcast stone with rendered dressings and a slate roof. The gabled front features a tall round-arched sash window with margin lights, framed by a Gibbsian surround with stressed quoins. On either side of this central window are smaller, similar windows located in single-storey porches, each with plank doors on their inner returns. The building has rendered quoins, and the chapel includes a plain string course above which is an arched inscription panel, also with a Gibbsian surround, that reads "DRWS-Y-COED/ ADEILADWYD 1836/ AIL ADEILADWYD 1892" in the tympanum. The long return walls consist of four bays with tall round-arched sash windows with margin lights, similar to those on the front.

Attached to the rear of the chapel is a manse under a continuous roof line, featuring 20th-century windows in the original openings, along with an integral end stack and a ridge stack at the junction with the chapel. The right-hand porch displays a semi-circular slate plaque inscribed with "CONGREGATIONAL BUILDING DRWSYCOED BUILT 1836 REBUILT 1856/ KEEP THY FOOT WHEN THOU GOEST TO/ THE HOUSE OF GOD/ HOLINESS BECOMETH THINE HOUSE/ FOR EVER," while a duplicate inscription in Welsh is found on the left-hand porch.

Inside, the main body of the chapel has a boarded flat ceiling with ribs extending from each corner to an elaborate ceiling rose, complemented by a moulded plaster cornice. At the far end, there is a round-arched niche with paired fluted pilasters and fluted brackets, along with a dentil cornice and architrave featuring a keystone. The set fawr includes a semi-circular balustraded pulpit, pitch pine pews, and a rail with turned balusters and newels topped with ball finials, as well as oil lamps. A marble tablet commemorates William M Roberts, who died in 1918.
