Capel Gwynfil

Capel Gwynfil is a 19th-century chapel constructed between 1861 and 1863, featuring unpainted roughcast walls and a slate hipped roof. The building has paired brackets at the eaves and stucco plain surrounds around its openings, with a ground floor band at impost level. Originally designed with a lateral front, it was modified in 1861 to include an entrance through the pine end.

The east front has two storeys and a three-window range, showcasing three ground floor arched windows, one of which is similar to the centre window on the first floor. Each side of the centre window features shorter cambered-headed two-light timber-mullion windows. The arched windows are adorned with Y-tracery, and all windows include marginal glazing bars for each light. The north entrance front has two similar cambered-headed upper windows and two arched doorways, each with Y-tracery fanlights above four-panel doors. The south end, built into a bank, contains two similar arched windows and a hipped centre porch that provides access to the pulpit. The west rear wall mirrors the east front with a three-window range, but all upper windows are cambered-headed.

While the main structure dates from 1861 to 1863, the deep coved ceiling and the acanthus and guilloche centre rose may date back to 1815. Inside, there is a three-sided gallery supported by ten plain iron columns. The gallery features canted angles, a bracket cornice, and long raised plain flat panels with quadrant rebated corners. The chapel includes grained panelled box pews arranged in a central double block and two side blocks, along with raked gallery pews. The plain great seat has curved ends, and the high pulpit platform is accessed by steps on each side. The pulpit area is enclosed by a blind balustrade with a curving top rail, flanking an arched-panelled pulpit front with bulbous columns at the angles. A plaster arch behind the pulpit leads to a three-panel door that opens to the rear porch.
