Description
Chapel House, also known as Capel Mawr, is a 19th-century 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 supported by brackets at the eaves. The pediment has a moulded course at its base, along with angle quoins and a plinth. The façade includes two arched windows in the center and two similar outer gallery lights, which originally had small-paned glazing and intersecting tracery in the heads; however, the center windows have lost all but the tracery. There are stucco arched hoodmoulds above the windows. Below the gallery windows are two arched doorways with fanlights featuring similar tracery, three-panel doors, and hoodmoulds with keystones. A semi-circular plaque with a moulded arch is located between the center window heads, and there is a blank keyed roundel in the pediment. The right side has a two-storey, two-window range of 24-pane sash windows with stone voussoirs and slate sills, while the left side has a one-window range.
The attached Chapel House, set back on the left, has a large stone stack at 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 long panels and a bracketed cornice below, supported by six plain iron columns. The gallery features raked panelled box pews, which are painted with a grained finish, while the lower area has later, slightly raked open pews. The ceiling is flat and plastered with a central rose, and there are plastered pitched ceilings under the gallery. A massive tiered and panelled pulpit and organ structure occupies the entrance wall, blocking two windows from the inside, likely dating from 1865. The pulpit has a broad canted front that jetties out, with side flights of steps, and the organ features panelling below a five-bay pipe front, with the outer bays canted back.
