Description
Chapel in simple Classical style. Built of grey rubble masonry with plinth course, stressed bathstone quoins and dressings; slate roof with stone copings and weathered finial at NE gable apex. Round headed doors and windows; architraves with keystones and imposts.
The entrance elevation faces SW, a pedimental gable with roundel in apex which bears the chapel name and date of construction. Two round-headed windows grouped towards the centre of the elevation have sash glazing. Flanking doorways have double-leaf panelled doors under semi-circular overlights. Lateral walls have 3 bays, each with windows as for entrance elevation; 2 similar windows to rear.
Entrance doors lead into small hallways with stairs leading up to gallery and doorways to main body of chapel; small vestry accessed through doorway in left hand hallway. The walls of the chapel have ashlar scoring over tongue and groove panelling. There is a moulded cornice to a plain ceiling with central moulded floriate rose. There are 3 ranks of pews, the central with central divider. The set fawr, opposite the entrance, has rounded corners to the panelled front under a shaped baluster course and moulded rail; side entrances have chamfered newel posts with squat banded globe finials. The pulpit is similar detailed with a dentilled course under the moulded cornice to the advanced front; to the rear of the pulpit is similarly detailed panelling. At the entrance end of the chapel is a gallery with panelled front on a dentilled course and shaped corbels; the entrance doors flank a pair of 6-pane frosted lights which illuminate the vestry beyond.
