Description

A small L-shaped chapel in rubble masonry with axe-dressed quoins. There are traces of an ochre-coloured pigment. Roof with tile ridge and hip, and a single-bellcote over the west gable capped by a small ball-finial.

Stone mullion and transom windows: two to south, one to east, one to north of nave and one to north gable of the later wing. Fine door casing with Tuscan pilasters on moulded bases and plinths, carrying simple caps and an inscribed lintel with moulded edges. The inscription records that the 'Jesus Chapel was founded and endowed by Rice Williams of Eyarth Uchaf gentleman 1619, consecrated 1723, rebuilt 1787.'

The chapel is entered at the north side. Simple nave in three bays with V-braced trusses; two purlins each side. The east truss now rests on a cantilever of the wallplate. Similar construction in the north wing in two bays. C19 red quarry tiles with a slight step at entrance and at altar.

The altar table is in Jacobean style with a central IHS and vines and fish decoration. Pulpit also in Jacobean style, with arch-headed panels and moulded frieze. Bench at west, all other seating loose. Octagonal font dated 1663 (brought here from parish church).
