Description
Capel Noni is a chapel built from coursed rubble stone with sandstone dressings, featuring a slate roof that has deep eaves and verges supported by paired brackets. The building has a two-storey long-wall facade with flush sandstone quoins and arched openings. On the first floor, there are two gallery windows, with a roundel plaque positioned between them. The ground floor has a larger arched window in the center, flanked by doors, all aligned beneath the gallery windows. The arches are adorned with sandstone voussoirs and stone sills, while the later 19th-century windows feature Y-tracery timber glazing, accompanied by 20th-century doors and plain fanlights. The end walls are windowless, with the right side being slate-hung. The rear wall is also slate-hung and contains two arched windows with Y-tracery.
Inside, the plan includes a pulpit on the rear wall, which means the central ground floor window only illuminates the lobby, as its head is above ceiling level. A fine gallery rests on four painted timber columns, with canted angles creating two long sides and three shorter sides. A deep plain cornice is positioned above the columns, which are located at the joins of the five sides, and it is broken forward over the columns. The gallery features a painted panelled front, with mostly square panels, while the center panel of the canted sides is horizontal and includes a clock in a roundel. Between sections, there are panelled pilasters.
In 1963, the chapel underwent refitting that introduced Japanese oak pews arranged in three blocks, along with gallery pews, a set fawr, a pulpit, and a lobby. These elements are simple modernized versions of traditional forms, with the pulpit featuring a canted front that is plain panelled, and the platform front being vertically boarded, with steps on each side. Earlier 20th-century coloured glass can be found in the windows at the back.
