Description

Capel Sittim is a chapel constructed with unpainted roughcast and a slate roof. It features a simple gable front with an arched window on each side of a Tudor-arched door. The windows have later 19th-century timber 2-light tracery, and the door is panelled with a Y-tracery overlight. The surrounds of these features are plain and raised. The side walls also have two similar arched windows, and there is a rear outbuilding, likely a stable and vestry, which has a hipped roof, a small window and door on the ground floor, and a sash window on the first floor, with a door at the rear. A baptismal tank is located in the grounds near the rear wall.

Inside, there is a pulpit on the rear wall and an early to mid-19th-century gallery on the entrance wall supported by three plain timber columns. The gallery features vertical panels that alternate between narrow and broader widths, and there are open back bench seats. Below the gallery is a lobby with a small traceried window containing coloured glass, and the entrance doors are set into canted sides. The chapel has a fine set of painted grained box pews that are panelled, with a central block and inward-facing raked side blocks. The ceiling is plain with a rose design leading to a flat surface.

There is a later 19th-century platform and set fawr, which is three-sided with a moulded top-rail and an open back. The pulpit has a square projecting front divided into three bays, featuring thick Gothic column shafts and shaft rings. Each bay is open above and panelled below the shaft ring, with a rectangular panel and roundel. The sides of the pulpit consist of one bay each. The stair balustrades on either side have similar squat turned column shafts and a thick moulded rail. Behind the pulpit is a plain arched recess with a door leading into the vestry.
