Crugybar Independent Chapel

Crugybar Independent Chapel, which includes a vestry and forecourt railings, is a building dating from 1765, with later alterations in 1837 and 1893. The chapel features a lateral, smooth-rendered, colourwashed three-bay front with a slate roof, timber bracketed eaves, and bargeboards. The central window is tall and round-arched, with a raised cemented surround and 36-pane marginal glazing. There are upper arched windows on either side, each with 16-pane marginal glazing and similar surrounds. Below each upper window is an arched doorway with boarded doors and marginally glazed fanlights, also with matching surrounds. The building has a low rendered plinth and a renewed slate plaque beneath the central window that reads: "Crugybar. Adeiladwyd 1765. Aiodeiladwyd 1837. Adnewydd 1893". The left end is slate-hung with a tall window matching the front, while the rear is also slate-hung with two similar tall windows. The right end is rubble with a tall window featuring stone voussoirs.

Attached to the right is a later vestry that projects forward, accessed by sweeping cemented steps leading to a first-floor boarded door. To the right of the vestry is a four-pane horned sash window. The rubble rear of the vestry has two upper sash windows, with brick cambered heads, and a central boarded door flanked by small windows with similar heads. The end has 20th-century doors. The front court wall is a dwarf rubble wall with 1893 cast iron railings that sweep up to the vestry door, featuring central paired cast iron gates and posts signed: "T.Jones. Priory Foundry. Carmarthen".

Inside, the chapel has a boarded ribbed ceiling painted in various colours, with a large central plaster rose and pendant. There are square wooden ventilators on either side. A three-sided timber gallery rests on iron columns with simple capitals, featuring a coved panelled underside and a moulded base with hanging fretwork. The long panels above are filled with alternating vertical and diagonal boarding, with a moulded sill. A 19th-century clock on the gallery is signed H.Evans, Llangadock. The pews have diagonally boarded backs, doors, and shaped ends, and are raked towards the gallery. The wide timber polygonal pulpit has round-arched panels with inset roundels and miniature panels, along with a moulded base and sill. Flanking the pulpit are sweeping staircases with turned balusters and newels. Behind the pulpit is a simple high plaster arch.
