Capel Carmel

The Capel Carmel is a chapel dating from 1879, constructed from snecked squared rock-faced Llanddewi Brefi rubble stone with a slate roof and fretted bargeboards. The gable front is plain, featuring stone voussoirs around all openings, with arched first-floor windows and a cambered-headed lower window. Tooled stone quoins and surrounds define the windows and door. A gable plaque reads "Methodistiaid Calfinaidd," and three plaques below state "Adeiladwyd 1879 / Carmel / Erected 1879.” The ground floor has sash windows and a central double 3-panel painted grained door with a plate-glass overlight, approached by four broad slate and rubble stone steps. All windows have marginal glazing bars, painted slate sills, and small flush keystones.

The side walls are two-storey with a basement, featuring a four-window arrangement. The right side is of rougher rubble stone, while the left is roughcast, with twelve-pane sash windows. The gallery windows are taller and have cambered heads, while those on the ground floor and basement have flat heads, the basement windows being short 9-pane. A door is located to the right of the right-side wall. A chapel house is situated to the rear right, rendered and two-storey with 20th-century plastic windows and a ground-floor door.

Inside, a three-sided gallery with canted ends is panelled with long horizontal panels interspersed with square panels and supported on eight iron columns with double neck-rings and leaf capitals, and a bracket cornice below. The chapel contains pitch-pine panelled pews arranged in three blocks. A large three-sided set fawr (pulpit) is present, with entries on each side and a reading desk centrally located. The pulpit features turned balusters and heavy turned newels with ball finials, a pierced fretwork decorated front panel flanked by pilasters and console brackets, and a stepped front projecting from the panelled sides. The gallery pews have panelled backs and are steeply raked at the rear. A small organ is housed in a slightly Gothic case at the rear of the gallery. The ceiling is plastered with diagonal ribs leading to a central roundel with an ornate floral and acanthus rose. A vestry is located beneath the chapel, supported by eight iron columns.
