Penmyarth Park Chapel

Early-English style chapel consisting of nave, chancel and W tower. Of coursed, rock-faced sandstone and slate roof. Three-stage W tower has stone slab offsets and diagonal buttresses rising to the top of the second stage where they are crowned with gablets. The W doorway has a lancet arch, one order of shafts with stiff leaf capitals and a hood mould with foliage stops. In the N and S walls is a string course. The lower stage is the porch and has a rib vault with foliage boss and a boarded W door with elaborate strap hinges. In the middle stage the W, N and S faces have a single lancet with one order of shafts with moulded capitals. The bell stage has 2-light mullioned windows with triangular heads, with a smaller one-light window in E face. A short pyramidal spirelet of overlapping stone slabs has projecting eaves, beneath which is a corbel table of foliage and grotesques.

The nave and chancel have stepped buttresses, and coped gables on moulded kneelers with little gablets on the eaves. The nave has, to N, two 2-light geometrical windows and one lancet to R, all with sill band and hood moulds with foliage stops. In the chancel are windows with similar details, one lancet in the N wall and 3 stepped lancets in the E wall with continuous hood mould. The chancel has a small gabled vestry to S. The nave S windows are similar to N.

Not inspected at time of survey (August 1997), but said to have fine stained glass, possibly by Clayton & Bell, and a monument to Sir Joseph Bailey (d. 1858) by J.E. Thomas.
