Capel Saron

Capel Saron is a chapel built from coursed rock-faced rubble stone, featuring minimal painted ashlar dressings. The gable front has a central recess under a major arch, with each side unusually recessed under a short ashlar corbel table beneath the main impost band. There are painted ashlar bands across the structure at three main levels: at the impost level of the door, the sill level of the central windows, and the impost level of the main arch, which also includes two central windows. The gable features an inscription that reads 'Saron Capel yr Annibynwyr 1871'. A painted vent loop is located in the gable, flanked by two blank keyed roundels with painted ashlar keystones. The main central recess extends into the gable and contains a roundel with sexfoil timber tracery, two arched windows with timber 2-light-and-roundel tracery, and two small keyed roundel windows positioned just above the door level. Additionally, there is a tall arched doorway with panelled double doors. All arches and roundels are constructed with stone voussoirs, and all windows have stone sills. The side windows are tall, very narrow, and feature arched heads with painted keystones located directly beneath the corbel table.

Inside, the chapel has a three-sided gallery supported by three iron columns, each with florid caps. The coved cornice is located under a frontal panelled in long sections, with equal length bands of pierced cast ironwork in a quatrefoil pattern above. Thin pilasters are placed between the panels, and the angles are curved. The pitch pine pews are arranged in three blocks, with the outer blocks canted towards the pulpit. A three-sided 'set fawr' is present, featuring a cast-iron pierced long panel at the rear, although the 'set fawr' has been infilled to create a raised platform. The pulpit is accessed by curving steps on each side and has a panelled front with an arched centre panel. Behind the pulpit is a plaster arch with panelled pilasters, large caps, and a moulded arch with a keystone. The gallery pews are raked and curved to follow the line of the gallery. The lobby at the entrance end includes a window with coloured glass margins and canted walls on each side with doors. The ceiling features a coved plaster cornice, two main plaster panels that are diagonally ribbed from central roses, and is divided and bordered by diagonal timber boarding with six ornate pierced timber square vents.
