Llyswen Presbyterian Church

Llyswen Presbyterian Church is a Calvinistic Methodist Chapel built around 1836 and renovated in 1879. It was transferred to the Presbyterian Church in 1904 and has since been served by Coleg Trefeca.

The church features rendered stone with a slate roof that is quarter hipped at both ends. It is a single cell structure. The eastern side, which faces the road, retains the traditional long-wall front that originally had doorways at either end, but now only has one entrance at the south end, which features double panelled doors with a depressed ogee overlight. There are two four-paned windows, one of which is quadrant pivot hung, both with ogee-shaped heads and glazing bars forming a lozenge-shaped light. At the north end, there is a low set window with a similar head, marking the original door opening. The church has boxed eaves and a moulded frieze, along with shaped bargeboards. The north and west sides both have round-headed windows.

Inside, the internal plan was altered during the 1879 remodelling. There is a timber lobby around the entrance doors, and the walls are plastered with a matchboarded dado. Moulded ribs create a panelled flat ceiling, featuring a central snowflake design. A raised pulpit is located under the north end window with a portable harmonium in front. There is a blocked fireplace on the south wall, and the seating consists of three blocks of pews and some cross pews facing the pulpit. The church is noted as a prominent example of a small rural chapel, retaining the character of the pre-1840 building.
