Description
Yr Hen Gapel is a chapel built in a simple early 19th century style, featuring a long-wall façade made of rubble stone and a half-hipped slate roof with bracketed eaves. The façade includes round-headed openings with stone voussoirs. At each end, there are doorways with boarded doors and radial-glazed overlights. The two large central windows are small-pane hornless sashes with intersecting glazing bars, while smaller gallery windows on the left and right above the doorways have similar designs. In the center of the façade, there is a slate tablet framed by re-used stone dressings.
On the right (north) end wall, there are two replaced round-headed gallery windows with keyed yellow-brick heads and blank tympana. Set back on the left (south) side is a lower gabled former stable with a vestry above. The vestry features stone steps leading to a boarded door under a stone lintel, with a 12-pane sash window to the left. Below, the former stable has a boarded door flanked by four-pane windows. The left gable end has two inserted windows, and there are replaced windows at the rear.
In front of the chapel, there is a stone wall enclosing the graveyard, with an iron gate at the foot of the vestry stairs.
Inside, the space is divided horizontally: the upper gallery level serves as the chapel, while workshops are located below. The gallery is supported by turned wooden columns and retains a panelled frontal along with old wooden benches.
