Yr Hen Gapel, retaining wall and gates

This is a former Soar Chapel, now used as a museum. It was built in 1845. The building is a rectangular rubble stone structure with dressed stone corner stones, featuring a basement and a single storey. It has four asymmetrical bays facing the front elevation. The slate gabled roof has deep bracketed eaves, arranged in pairs at the front and as single brackets on the gable ends.

The front (south east) elevation has double tongue and grooved doors with brick voussoirs and a slate plaque above, inscribed "SOAR A adeilwyd yn y Flwyddyn 1845". There are also three large 24-pane hornless sash windows, each with brick voussoirs. The left-hand return has two 16-pane hornless sash windows with slightly arched heads and brick voussoirs, which light the basement. The rear elevation displays four hornless 16-pane sash windows with brick voussoirs and slate cills to the main floor, alongside a basement entrance door with a slightly arched head and brick voussoirs. A small wooden-doored hatch is present at attic level on the right-hand return.

The graveyard at the front of the chapel is accessed via wrought iron double gates set between square stone gate piers with slate coping stones. The gates feature a dogbar with spearheaded finials and a large diamond shape in the lower half. A rubble stone retaining wall borders the graveyard. To the north west of the graveyard is a retaining wall constructed of rubble stone, with plain buttresses and slate coping.

Internally, the main floor is a flat-ceilinged rectangular room with white-painted lined stucco and a wooden floor, incorporating slate flagstones at the entrance. The ceiling features a plaster acanthus rose above the pews and two circles on either side of the pulpit, with a larger central half-circle against the pulpit wall. A plaque over the doorway reads "O'r ardal hon yr hanoedd Humphrey Jones y Diwygiwr ac yn y capel hwn y cychwynnodd Diwychad 1859 Ymostyngodd y bobl Ceisiasant wyneb Yr Arglwydd Gwrandawodd Duw o'r Nefoedd ac inchan eu gwlad hwy". The interior is arranged with a pulpit on the end wall, and the rear third is filled with raked, fixed pews featuring panelled backs and shaped bench ends. The pews are arranged in two single blocks flanking a central double set, with a panelled division. There is an empty section for benches between the front pews and the pulpit. The small platform pulpit has a simple 4-panel front, flanked by square-section railings on the left and right, all raised on a low panelled platform with steps. It has a panelled back with a bench seat. Both the pews and the pulpit are painted blue and white. The basement, believed to have originally served as accommodation, was raised in 2003 as part of improvements.
