Description
Capel y Bedydddwyr, also known as Baptist Chapel, is a 19th-century building featuring scribed unpainted render with raised cement dressings. It has a half-hipped roof covered in grouted slate. The lateral facade showcases original tall, pointed windows on either side, with small-paned glazing and intersecting glazing bars at the heads. There are two outer doors set in plain reveals. In the 19th century, likely in 1883, the windows and doors were fitted with moulded raised cement frames that have pointed heads, while the blank panels above the doors, which previously displayed dates, have been removed. Each side of the facade features a small pointed light in plain reveal, probably added in the later 19th century.
The center of the facade was extended in 1920 to accommodate a pulpit recess, which has canted sides with pointed head windows in moulded cement frames and a gabled front. This front displays three marble war memorial plaques in similar frames, inscribed with the name ‘Capel y Bedyddwyr Felingangol’ and the dates 1756, 1799, 1833, 1883, and 1920. A lean-to structure is present on the right end wall, while the rear wall is made of rubble and features two small-paned upper windows.
In front of the chapel, there is a total immersion pool situated in a small churchyard with scattered headstones, including an ornate Gothic memorial for Margaret Ann Reynolds, who died in 1894. A further section of the graveyard is overgrown, with a path leading to a modern graveyard located on the hill behind.
Inside, there is a three-sided gallery supported by bulbous wood columns, 19th-century pews, and a three-sided ceiling adorned with two roses and a moulded plaster border.
