Description

The forecourt walls and railings to Seion Capel y Bedyddwyr, a Baptist chapel located on New Street, are constructed from rubble stone and feature a slate roof. The chapel itself has an unpainted roughcast front dating from around 1897, with raised cement dressings. The two-storey front includes arch-headed windows and a central arch-headed door framed by a moulded architrave with a keystone. The entrance has paired, panelled doors topped with a traceried fanlight. The windows are set in channel rusticated frames with arched hoodmoulds, featuring larger outer windows and two slightly shorter windows in the centre of the first floor, which are positioned higher than the outer windows. Above these is a small traceried roundel. The upper windows have timber tracery, consisting of two lights with a plain circle above. The gable is coped and topped with a block finial, and there is a rectangular plaque that reads 'Seion Capel y Bedyddwyr 1843, 1897'. The building has angle pilasters with pedestal blocks above.

The side elevations, made of rubble stone, likely date from 1843 and each feature a single window on both floors, with cut stone heads. The end walls have arch-headed windows with cut stone voussoirs. Inside, the chapel has a wood boarded roof, a gallery, and pews.

The schoolroom, which may date from the early 20th century, incorporates a building with an external stair noted on the 1908 Ordnance Survey 25-inch map. It is also built of rubble stone with a slate roof and a west end stack. This single-storey structure has an arch-headed door and two windows on the forecourt elevation, while the rendered east gable end facing the road has two arched windows. The timber windows feature two-light tracery with a circle above. The door on the forecourt side matches the tracery of the fanlight and has ledged doors. The adjacent windows to the right have timber arched heads above paired fixed lights and top lights, which may have been altered. From the schoolroom, a low rock-faced stone wall extends northward, featuring a central gatepier, end piers, and iron spearhead railings, with matching centre gates.
