Description
The Chapel at Bronllys Hospital is a 19th-century building with a cruciform plan. It features a rendered and painted exterior with a Westmorland slate roof. The chapel has a two-bay nave and a short raised chancel that includes a square apse elevated on a plinth and has a lower roof. The transepts include a south transept that houses the organ chamber, with a vestry and heating chamber located below.
The west door is studded and features square lights beneath a stone arch, with the tympanum filled with herringbone masonry. Slightly battered buttresses with stone corbel heads create bays that contain triple light windows with iron frames and margin leaded glass, set on sills made of three courses of slate. The north transept and east window have stepped triple lights with round stone arches. There are also boarded and studded doors on the east side of the north transept. The tapered bell tower has a small pyramidal roof, and the bell opening consists of vertical slots. An oculus is present in the south transept gable.
Inside, the chapel has an open roof formed of trusses in each bay and across the three sides of the crossing. The laminated timber trusses include principal rafters, scissor rafters, collars, and struts to the upper purlin, which are mostly doubled, creating an attractive network effect. The pulpit is part-octagonal and symmetrical, accompanied by a reading desk, both accessed from sanctuary steps. There is a round arch opening leading to the sanctuary, and the floor is made of parquet.
