Bwlchnewydd Independent Chapel

Bwlchnewydd Independent Chapel is a building featuring modern render with painted stucco dressings and a slate eaves roof. The lateral facade includes two long arched windows at the center, flanked by two outer arched doorways, and two square gallery lights in the upper corners. The windows and doors have 20th-century glazing and doors. The arched windows feature Y-tracery and large panes, while the gallery lights are plate glass sashes. The doors are boarded with blank rendered tympana above. The openings have moulded stucco frames, with keystones on the arched windows and a moulded thin band at the impost level of the doors, which is also broken for the center windows. Above this band are rusticated angle quoins, and below are channelled piers, all resting on a raised plinth. There are two affixed slate plaques commemorating Rev Owen Owen (died 1841) and William James (died 1845).

The roof overhangs the end gables, supported by brackets at the verges. The right end is constructed of rubble stone and features one sash window on each floor, which are not aligned, with marginal glazing bars and brick heads. The left end is finished in white-painted stucco with similarly placed windows. The rear wall is windowless and made of rubble stone.

Inside, the chapel contains painted grained box-pews, possibly from 1842, arranged in a raked manner up to the rear wall in six steps, with inward-facing rows on each side of the pulpit. The front of the flanking pews encloses the sides of the 'set fawr', which has a central opening facing the pulpit. The pulpit platform is low, accessed by a single flight of balustraded steps from the right. The platform features bulbous turned balusters and a solid two-panel pulpit front with a bookrest on fretwork brackets. Behind the pulpit is a pedimented feature with thin pilasters. The ceiling is adorned with intersected painted beams in 15 panels, supported by corbels under the beam ends.

There is a three-sided gallery, possibly from 1842, supported by five plain iron columns. The gallery has a plain front with a painted cornice under a vertically-panelled front, grained in a dark color. Later 19th-century pine lobbies are located under the ends of the gallery. The gallery itself contains two rows of steeply raked open-back benches and a third row with a boarded back against the walls.
