Description
The building is an Independent Chapel dating from 1830, featuring a rendered front and a slate hipped roof. The front facade includes plain square-headed openings for two long central windows, two doors, and two long gallery windows above. The doors and central windows are adorned with stucco pilasters and moulded arches, while the gallery windows have raised surrounds. A painted slate diamond plaque in the center states, "Llechryd Chapel was built in the year 1709 and rebuilt in the year 1830." The doors are 20th-century framed ledged doors with overlights and early 20th-century plain glazing. The south wall is constructed of rubble stone and features a 6-pane sash window on each floor. Attached to the northeast corner is an altered 19th-century two-storey chapel house with three windows, also built of rubble stone.
The front retaining wall is made of Cilgerran stone from the 19th century and includes slim monolith gatepiers that are pyramid-capped, a coped wall with low spearhead railings and intermediate spearheads on each side, and larger cut-stone pyramid-capped end piers. There are double iron gates.
Inside, the chapel contains grained box pews from 1830, with some reused elements from the earlier chapel, including one seat-back inscribed "Coedmore Seat 1709." The chapel features a five-sided gallery supported by four marbled timber columns, with a bracketed cornice and a panelled front. A clock made by D Jenkins in Cardigan in 1839 is also present. The ceiling has later plain ornamentation with ribs and a central rose, and there is a later 19th-century pulpit with a plaster arched aedicule behind it, along with a great seat that has balustrading.
