Description
Moriah Eglwys Presbyteraidd Cymru is a chapel built in the early Decorated style. It features rock-faced stone with slate roofs and limestone dressings. The northwest has a two-stage tower topped with a spire, which includes a tall lancet window set in a recess and a panel with a corbel table at the base of the broach spire. The chapel has a nave with west and east transepts, and a two-storey vestry at the north end. The transepts have paired foiled lancets, while the south end features a three-light window with roundels. The vestry is accessed by nine steps from the forecourt and has a hipped roof with a small gablet over the center window. At street level, there is a part-glazed door flanked by sequential windows.
The narrow forecourt on the south and east sides is enclosed by fleur-de-lis headed iron railings and dog rails, with square limestone gate piers marking the entrance.
Inside, the chapel has a shallow barrel vault of three bays, along with a cross vault at the north end that extends into the transepts. This is defined by moulded timber ribs that rise from wall consoles. The raking floor accommodates three banks of pews, two of which are in the aisles, providing seating for approximately 150 people. Behind the pulpit, there is a recessed arch defined by Corinthian pilasters and a semi-circular keyed arch. The pulpit seat and carved part-octagonal carved frontal are made of pitch pine, and the sedd fawr is enclosed in a panelled area with raised newels. The organ, housed in a good mahogany case, is said to have originated from a country house. All windows feature stained margin-glazed glass.
