Hawen Independent Chapel

Hawen Independent Chapel is a whitewashed roughcast building with a slate roof, featuring paired brackets at the eaves. The lateral facade has six arched openings, each with painted recessed voussoirs and flush keystones. The small-paned windows include marginal glazing bars and radiating-bar fans, with two larger windows at the center and two smaller ones on the first floor on each side. The entrance consists of four-panel double doors with radiating-bar fanlights and additional tracery, likely made of iron, along with a plaque at the center. The end walls have two similar windows on the first floor and one centered on the ground floor, slightly displaced on the stuccoed south end by a single-storey outbuilding. The rear features two arched windows on each floor.

Constructed in 1878, the chapel has a flat ceiling that is boarded with framing ribs. Inside, there is a three-sided gallery with curved angles and long panels of pierced cast-iron featuring a pattern of circles in squares. The dividing piers have arched panels, and there is a notched and fretted cornice below. Five marbled iron columns, made by Priory Foundry in Carmarthen, support the structure. The interior includes pine pews and a plain great seat. The pulpit is accessed by a straight flight of steps on each side, with newel caps and a front that is broken forward, featuring two arched panels inset with fretwork. A heavily moulded plaster arch is located behind the pulpit.
