Description
Capel Caerfarchell is a Calvinistic Methodist chapel built in 1827, constructed from rubble stone and featuring a hipped slate low-pitched roof. The lateral facade includes two round-arched small-paned windows with radiating stone voussoirs at the center, flanked by two outer six-panel doors. These doors have slightly cambered voussoirs and the four upper panels are fielded. A plaque between the windows reads, 'Adeiladwyd gyntaf yn y flwyddyn 1763. Ail adeiladwyd yn y flwyddyn 1827'.
The south end wall is slate-hung, with a 12-pane sash window below and another window above. The rear of the chapel has three upper windows and two 12-pane sashes with brick heads below. The north end features one upper window and a lean-to schoolroom with a roughcast front dated 1932.
The front courtyard is enclosed by low rubble walls topped with white rubble capping and purple ashlar gatepiers that have stepped caps and granite egg finials. At the northeast angle of the forecourt, there is a single-storey rubble stone outbuilding with a grouted slate roof, an east gable, double doors, and a brick stack on the west end, with a rounded southwest angle. This outbuilding is included for its group value with the chapel.
Inside, the chapel features a fine five-sided panel-fronted gallery supported by four slim wooden columns. The ceiling has wooden panelling, believed to be from 1912. The pews have scrolled arm-rests on the bench ends, and the three-sided pulpit is adorned with columned and arched panels, along with ramped handrails leading to the flanking steps. The gallery contains panelled benches, some with fielded panelling that is said to be re-used from an earlier chapel. Boxed ventilators are present on the gallery window sills.
