Description
Crugybar Independent Chapel, which includes a vestry and forecourt railings, features a lateral, smooth-rendered, colourwashed three-bay front with a slate roof and 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 the right and left, 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 under the central window that reads: "Crugybar. Adeiladwyd 1765. Aiodeiladwyd 1837. Adnewydd 1893". The left end is slate-hung with a tall window matching those at the front, while the rear is also slate-hung with two similar tall windows. The right end is made of rubble and features a tall window with stone voussoirs.
The later vestry is attached and projects forward to the right, accessed by sweeping cemented steps leading to a first-floor boarded door. A four-pane horned sash window is located to the right. The rear of the vestry is made of rubble and has two upper sash windows with brick cambered heads, alongside a central boarded door flanked by small windows with similar heads. The end features 20th-century doors. A dwarf rubble front court wall supports 1893 cast iron railings that sweep up the steps to the vestry door, with central paired cast iron gates and posts, the latter signed: "T.Jones. Priory Foundry. Carmarthen".
Inside, there is a boarded ribbed ceiling painted in various colours, with a large central plaster rose featuring a pendant. Square wooden ventilators are located on the right and left. A three-sided timber gallery rests on iron columns with simple capitals, featuring a coved panelled underside, a moulded base with hanging fretwork, and long panels above filled with alternating vertical and diagonal boarding with a moulded sill. A 19th-century clock in 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 sweeping staircases feature turned balusters and newels, and there is a big seat with a three-sided timber rail, recessed at the centre, with turned balusters and newels, and matchboarding below. A simple high plaster arch is located behind the pulpit.
