Description
Cae-Bach Chapel is a single-storey building constructed from rubble, featuring some hand-made brick dressings around the windows. It has a half-hipped raised slate roof with advanced boarded eaves, a timber wall plate, and two brace plates below. The front of the chapel includes two later 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars, framed by ogee-headed timber architraves. In the center, there are double doors, each with three panels, set within a 19th-century lightly chamfered frame topped with a timber lintel.
The left side elevation is plain rubble with simple bargeboards and advanced bracket eaves, while the right side is similar but includes one later ogee-headed window like those on the front, featuring brick voussoirs and a relieving arch above. The rear is also rubble, with two brace plates beneath the advanced boarded eaves. It has one ogee-headed window similar to the front, with a later brick sill, and one flat-headed sash window with cambered brick voussoirs and a brick sill.
In the graveyard, there are early 19th-century tombstones against the right side elevation and front, along with a fine group of tombstones.
Inside, the chapel has a plastered barrel-vaulted ceiling and retains its original fittings, though it has an unusual orientation. The semi-octagonal pulpit, which has been lowered, is located against the right end wall below the window. The box pews, slightly raked towards the rear, feature panelling with raised fields, and there is a later gallery at the rear against the left end wall. A wall monument commemorates Thomas Jones of Tetbury, who died in 1745, and is dated 1810.
