Description
St Paul Addoldy yr Eglwys Fethodistiadd is a Methodist chapel built of limestone with a slate roof, designed in a Classical style. The building is tall, featuring a wider rear block that is set transversely and contains the vestry rooms, which are connected by a corridor to doors in the projecting wings. The main façade is highlighted by giant pilasters that rise to an open entablature, which returns as a pediment. There are dual entrances located in a porch that has an entablature and a blind balustrade above. A large tripartite segmental pedimented window with side lights is situated above the entrances. The outer bays of the building feature two levels of stone architraved timber windows. The side elevations consist of six bays and also have two levels of similar architraved lights with original timber windows.
Inside, the entrance lobby has a blank internal wall facing the chapel and side doors, with stairs on each side leading to the gallery. The walls of the main chapel area are plastered, and the ceiling is coved with rope-moulded ribs that descend to corbels on all four sides. A painted central ventilator is surrounded by moulded and painted flowers in a square design. The gallery, located at the northern end, is supported by simple cast iron columns and extends around three sides of the building, featuring a panelled front with a painted frieze. The part-octagonal panelled pulpit is positioned against a classical aedicule with Corinthian pilasters and a segmental pediment on the southern wall, approached by steps on either side. The set fawr is enclosed within a substantial pine rail with widely spaced turned balusters. The central area contains nine rows of pews arranged on a slightly raked floor, while the gallery has six rows of pews at the back, returning as three on the sides.
