Description
Rhodiad Chapel is a Congregational chapel built in rubble stone, featuring a colourwashed lateral facade and a grouted slate roof. The eaves are made of nogged brick. The front of the chapel has an informal arrangement of four windows, with three 12-pane sash windows. The outer sashes are set low, while the one to the left of centre is slightly higher. To the right of centre, there are double doors set within a porch that has a hipped grouted-slate roof and substantial rubble stone sides. Above the doors is a plaque that reads: 'Yr Adeilad hon a sylfaenwyd 14eg Fehn 1784 Agorwyd yn lle o addoliad ar y 19eg o Ionr 1785 ac a alwyd Rhodiad y Brenhin. Adnewyddwyd ac ail agorwyd Mehn 17 ar 18 1884.'
The chapel has a forecourt enclosed by a rubble wall, which includes two gate piers and wooden gates. The interior appears to date from 1884 and features plain later 19th-century pews that face an end dais, along with a later 19th-century 7-bay collar-truss roof that includes kingposts and angle struts. There is also one 12-pane sash window on the rear wall.
