Penybryn Baptist Chapel

Penybryn Baptist Chapel is an 1869 chapel located at the northeast corner of the crossroads in Penybryn on the A478. The exterior features banded Cilgerran stone with a slate roof and decorative fretted bargeboards. The gable front displays a lunette plaque stating 'Penybryn Baptist chapel built in the year 1818 Rebuilt 1869'. It has three arched windows on the first floor, two ground-floor windows, and a central door, all with cambered heads. The design includes cut stone voussoirs, slate sills, sashes with marginal glazing bars, and double 2-panel doors with an overlight. A raised band separates the floors. The sides of the chapel are two-storey with two windows each, mirroring the front, and there is one arched window at the rear.

Inside, the chapel features box pews and a three-sided gallery supported by fluted iron columns made by T Thomas of Cardigan. The pulpit appears to be a later addition, with a recess behind it that has a cornice.

The front is enclosed by spearhead railings with dog-bars and a pair of wrought iron gates adorned with scrolls, along with end stone piers topped with pyramid caps. This attractive 19th-century chapel is noted for its unusual banded stonework and is similar in style to Ty-Rhos Chapel on Rhos Hill.
