Capel y Dyffryn

A chapel of long-side-entry type, but nearly square plan, set back from the road behind a front yard. It is roughcast rendered and slate roofed. Tile ridge (and a verge of tiles at the right side). The front elevation is symmetrical with 2 plaques centrally, flanked by round-headed windows and doors. The windows are tall, of sash type below transom, with 30 panes; interlaced glazing bars above the transoms and above the door lintels. Eight-panel double doors.

The top plaque is original and identifies the chapel and gives its date; the lower is a C20 monument to Robert Lloyd of Plas Ashpool, d1792, a leader of early Methodism locally.

The chapel is entered by symmetrical doors in the north wall and by internal timber porches which flank the set fawr and pulpit.

The seating is plain and unornamented, octagonally planned and strongly raked. Three forward facing pews at the front have a central division. At the 2 rear corners there are three additional higher pews to maximise the seating. The panelling of the entrance porches is also plain and unornamented.

The set fawr is the only gated pew. Pulpit at centre with simply decorated panelled front, rounded and reeded corners and moulded cornice. Short balustrade each side with short flights of steps. Decorative plasterwork at rear of pulpit with reeded architrave and panels recalling the detail of the exterior doors.
