Glanrhyd Chapel including Area Railings

Glanrhyd Chapel is a Calvinistic Methodist chapel built in 1870, constructed from banded tooled rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. The building features bracketed eaves and an open pedimental gable that includes a keyed roundel with a quartrefoil and a plaque that reads 'Glanrhyd Adeiladwyd gan y Trefnyddion Calfinaidd 1870'. The front has three bays with arched openings, decorated with bicolour voussoirs, keystones, and slate outer arch rings. The windows are small-paned, with two long outer windows featuring marginal glazing bars and radiating bars at the heads, and two narrow centre lights with Y-tracery heads. The broad doorway has a Y-tracery fanlight, with the centre panel displaying Gothic cusping, and is flanked by paired 2-panel doors. The chapel is two storeys high with two-window sides that contain 16-pane sashes and two long end windows. Attached to the right corner is a vestry built in 1934 by J T Williams of Cardigan.

The front of the chapel is enclosed by railings on a low stone wall, which has stone end piers and painted slate gatepiers. The railings are made of spearhead rails with dog-bars, and there are paired gates that ramp up to a meeting stile.

Inside, the chapel features pitch pine pews and a three-sided gallery supported by turned wood columns, with the bases at pew-back level. The gallery front consists of long horizontal panels with curved angles. A clock marked Thos Thomas, Cardigan, is present, and the pulpit sits on a square platform with steps on each side. The flat ceiling has one small rose, and the entrance lobby includes a window with etched and coloured glass in the corner panes.
