Moriah Eglwys Presbyteraidd Cymru

Moriah Eglwys Presbyteraidd Cymru is a Presbyterian Church, originally built as a Calvinistic Methodist chapel in 1874, designed by Mr. Owen, an architect from Liverpool.

The chapel is constructed in the early Decorated style, featuring rock-faced stone with slate roofs and limestone dressings. It has a northwest two-stage tower topped with a spire, which includes a tall lancet window set in a recess and a panel with a corbel table at the base of the broach spire. The building includes a nave with western and eastern transepts, as well as a two-storey vestry at the northern end. The transepts have paired foiled lancets, and there is a three-light window with roundels at the southern end. The vestry, accessed by nine steps from the forecourt, has a hipped roof and a small gablet above the central window. At street level, there is a part-glazed door flanked by sequential windows.

Inside, the chapel features a shallow barrel vault of three bays, with a cross vault at the northern end extending into the transepts, supported by moulded timber ribs that rise from wall consoles. The raking floor accommodates three banks of pews, with two in the aisles, providing seating for approximately 150 people. Behind the pulpit, there is a recessed arch defined by Corinthian pilasters and a semi-circular keyed arch. The pulpit seat and the carved part-octagonal frontal are made of pitch pine, and the sedd fawr is enclosed in a panelled area with raised newels. An organ, housed in a good mahogany case, is said to have originated from a country house. All windows feature stained margin-glazed glass.

The chapel is set within a narrow forecourt on the south and east sides, which is defined by fleur-de-lis headed iron railings and dog rails, along with square limestone gate piers. It is listed for its contribution to the character and townscape of the town centre and as an unaltered late 19th-century chapel.
