Prion Chapel and Ty Capel including Forecourt Walls and Gates

This is a large rectangular chapel with an incorporated school-room and an adjoining manse, all set back at a right angle to the east. The building is constructed of rubble, currently pebble-dashed, with stucco quoins highlighting the main chapel openings. It has slate roofs, with the chapel roof half-hipped to the road gable and featuring plain 20th-century bargeboards. The chapel’s main, east-facing facade is symmetrical, featuring two pairs of tall windows centrally, flanked by entrances. The windows have 12-pane recessed, fixed panes with marginal glazing and projecting stone sills, while the entrances have recessed boarded doors with segmental fanlights, also marginally glazed. A central arched dedication plaque bearing a biblical inscription in Welsh and the date 1792 is also present.

To the right of the chapel is an external flight of concreted steps, ascending from left to right with a plain iron rail, providing access to the first-floor school-room via a tall boarded door with a 3-pane cambered overlight. A large 16-pane sash window with a projecting sill and cambered head is located to the right of the schoolroom entrance, with a broad boarded door to the ground floor below. Three recessed 12-pane sashes are located in the first-floor gable end, with heads and sills matching those of the chapel windows. A small, squat brick chimney is also present. The rear elevation has a segmentally-arched entrance with a boarded door to the left and a plain rectangular modern window to its left. Two uPVC windows are present, replacing original 12-pane sashes.

The two-storey manse adjoins the chapel to the right, constructed using similar materials with a plain near-centre chimney. A 20th-century part-glazed door is centrally located, flanked by modern wooden windows; a 9-pane window is to the left and a 12-pane window, formerly with a cambered head, is to the right. The first floor of the manse retains original 12-pane casement windows, breaking the eaves within gabled dormers, and featuring simply-moulded bargeboards and boarded soffits. An outshut is located at the rear with modern windows. A modern garage block is situated between the chapel and manse at the corner.

The forecourt is enclosed by rubble walls, partially metalled, with simple iron gates accessible via four concrete steps, and an arched iron lamp stand above. The interior of the building was not inspected.
