Description
Pentre Llifior Methodist Chapel is a small, simple brick chapel with a slate roof, accessed through the gable wall. The entrance features central paired panelled doors within a gabled porch that was added in 2012. Flanking the doors are two paired segmentally headed lights with interlaced tracery and some coloured glass, located above the doorway. Similar tracery is found in two matching windows on each side of the chapel, which have panelled external shutters and blue brick sills from the late 19th century. A date-stone between the front windows reads 'Wesley's Methodist Chapel 1798', although the '8' is painted over the original '7'. There are two similar windows in the right-hand gable return.
Inside, the chapel has a simple design with plastered walls above a boarded wainscot and a plain flat modern ceiling that is slightly lower than the original and below the tops of the gallery windows. A central aisle runs between the pews, with doors on either side, set on a suspended floor likely from around 1870. A bench has been added to the front of each set of pews. Similar pews are arranged at right angles on either side of the pulpit, which is behind a plain communion rail. The polygonal pulpit features fluted panels and has ball finials on the principal posts. The pews are difficult to date, but they maintain a simple Georgian character, regardless of whether they are from the original building. The pulpit and communion rail may date from 1870. The gallery has a plain panelled front supported by cast iron posts, with pews that have fielded panels on the doors.
