Description
A Baptist chapel of rubble stone with half-hipped slate roof. The gable end is mostly slate hung with one large cambered-headed triple window and a date plaque inscribed 'Maesyrhellem Baptist Chapel Built 1805 Rebuilt 1857'. Rubble stone ground floor and added gabled porch. Windowless side walls. The rear gable end has 2 large pointed windows with stone voussoirs, of which the timber tracery is probably C20.
A 3-sided painted grained gallery is on 5 octagonal timber posts. The gallery front has vertical cambered-headed panels, the panels grained a lighter colour. Stained pine pews are in 3 blocks, with plain vertical boarding to the backs and shaped ends. Inward-facing pews are each side of pulpit, the front pew of each block forming the set fawr. The pulpit platform has steps up from sides with open balusters, and is under a raked panel with elliptical intersect pattern. The pulpit front has similar front panel over plain panelling. Boarded dado. A plaque between windows is to Rev David Davies (d. 1908). A painted scroll above reads 'Praise ye the Lord'. The painted boarded 3-bay flat ceiling is divided by boarded painted beams. Three plain roundels.
The boarded lobby has stairs up to the gallery in each corner and two 4-panel doors into chapel. Painted grained gallery benches have open backs and shaped ends.
