Description

Capel Llwynrhydowen, also known as New Chapel, is a Unitarian chapel designed by Watkin Davies of Llandysul, built to replace the original chapel from 1834 at the crossroads. The chapel is constructed from snecked rubble stone and features a slate roof. The end facade is made of rock-faced grey stone and is adorned with extensive ashlar dressings. It has arched windows, and the end facade includes a pedimental gable above a recessed arched center that breaks through the impost cornice. The side bays are accented with rusticated quoins and a raised plinth.

The center of the facade features a projecting enclosed gabled porch with coped gables and a finial, along with panelled doors, an overlight, and a flat ashlar lintel. Above the porch, there is a triplet of arched windows with a sill course, pilaster piers, moulded arches, and keystones. Beneath the main arch, there is a plaque that reads 'Capel Llwynrhydowen 1879'. In the gable above the arch, there is a narrow vent that is pilastered and arch-headed. The side windows are long, featuring flush unmoulded arched heads, flush rusticated sides, and raised keystones.

The sides of the chapel have four similar arched windows set in plain rubble surrounds. All the windows are fitted with marginal glazing bars, some of which contain coloured glass panels.

Inside, there is an end gallery supported by two fluted iron columns, with a panelled front above a heavily bracketted cornice. The ceiling features a panelled flat center with deep coved plaster sides and timber ribs. The pulpit includes balusters leading to the steps and has a panelled front.
