Description

Glasbury United Reformed Chapel is a large rectangular chapel built in the Gothic style, constructed from rock-faced squared sandstone rubble with margin-draughted ashlar dressings and topped with a slate roof. The chapel features angled corner buttresses that rise above the eaves as small square spirelets. The gabled front has a central panel that is slightly set forward, culminating in three crowning gables. This front also includes lancet windows, a recessed dedication panel, and a quatrefoil with the date 1866. On either side of the front, there are gabled entrance porches with painted outer arches and boarded doors, with bargeboards framed at collar level. Above both porches are pointed windows featuring wooden tracery. The side elevations are adorned with four elongated pointed windows that have 'Y'-tracery and hood mouldings.

Inside, the chapel has a rectangular layout with a west gallery and timber boarded lobbies at each end that provide access to the dog-leg gallery stair. The ceiling is boarded with a wide plaster margin and a circular plaster centre roundel. The gallery features a moulded cornice and a panelled front, supported by a central iron column. The pulpit is located against the east wall and has an arched hood above it, with steps leading up from either side. The pew seating accommodates approximately 200 people arranged in three banks. The chapel also houses an organ made by Guelph of Ontario and includes a brass dedication to J.E. Morgan, the Sunday school superintendent. There is no sedd fawr present.
