John Hughes Memorial Chapel (Pontrobert Chapel)

The chapel and cottage are in uncoursed, white-painted stonework with a slate roof. Stone end chimneys. The building ranges south-west/north-east, and faces south-east to the road.

The building has been restored to what is likely to have been its appearance before the alterations of the late C19 which converted it to a wheelwright or carpenter's shop. The front elevation of the cottage part consists of a window above and below to the left and a door to the right. The front elevation of the chapel part is symmetrical in itself, consisting of a pair large of high level windows flanked by entrances for men and women. The joinery is all restored, the large windows consisting of horizontally sliding sashes over fixed lights, all leaded. Similar windows at rear.

The cottage has small modern timber windows to rear and side.

The chapel is entered by symmetrically positioned doors, and the pulpit has been retained in what is believed to be its historic location, at the centre of the rear wall, but on a low dais. None of the pews or other chapel features of the original interior remain.

The partition between the chapel and cottage is timber framed, the late date (1800) being indicated by the unusual use of Arabic numerals for carpenter's marks. At high level is a hatch used by John Hughes in old age for preaching from his bed.

There is a single king-post truss.

The adjacent cottage has its original staircase and a chamfered and stopped beam to the first floor.
