Description
Capel Mawr and Chapel House is a building with a rendered painted front and left side, while the right side and rear are constructed from rubble stone. It features a slate roof and a broad gable front with a pediment that has brackets at the eaves, a moulded course at the base, angle quoins, and a plinth. The front has two arched windows at the center and two similar outer gallery lights, originally all with small-paned glazing and intersecting tracery in the heads, although the center windows have lost all but the tracery. There are stucco arched hoodmoulds above these windows. Below the gallery windows, there are two arched doorways with similar tracery in the fanlights, three-panel doors, and hoodmoulds that include keystones. A semi-circular plaque with a moulded arch is positioned between the heads of the center windows, and there is a blank keyed roundel in the pediment. The right side of the building has a two-storey, two-window range of 24-pane sash windows with stone voussoirs and slate sills, while the left side has a similar one-window range.
The Chapel House is attached to the left side and is set back, featuring a large stone stack on the left end. It is two storeys high with a door located at the angle to the right and a one-window range of hornless 12-pane sashes to the left. The left side service range is one storey with a single 20th-century window at the front.
Inside, there is a five-sided timber gallery with front panels and a bracketed cornice below, supported by six plain iron columns. The gallery contains raked panelled box pews, which are painted with a graining effect, and there are later, slightly raked open pews below. The ceiling is plastered and flat with a central rose, while the ceilings under the gallery are plastered and pitched. A massive tiered and panelled pulpit and organ structure occupies the entrance wall, blocking two windows from the inside, likely added in 1865. The pulpit has a broad canted front that juts out with side flights of steps, and the organ features panelling beneath a five-bay pipe front, with the outer bays canted back.
