Description
Bryn Hyfryd Baptist Chapel, built around 1900, features a striking twin-tower Gothic façade. The exterior is constructed of snecked rubble with pale freestone dressings and topped with slate roofs. The wide three-bay façade includes a parapetted gable with a heavy finial at the center, a two-light window with a cill-band course above a large five-light Geometric W window that has a hoodmould.
The gabled porch rises through the main cill and features an entrance framed by two filleted orders, with nook shafts that have bushy capitals. Above the paired shouldered doorways is a tympanum with blind tracery. The outer towers are square and buttressed; the northern tower has a French slated roof with ironwork cresting and elongated eaves brackets, while the southern tower features a corbelled bell storey, pierced parapets, polygonal finials, and paired lancets with central shafts. The lower storeys are adorned with tall two-light windows above paired narrow lancets.
The side elevation is also buttressed and has bracket eaves, with giant two-light traceried windows and blind panels for the backs of the gallery. A narrow forecourt in front of the chapel is marked by Gothic finials on the piers and modern railings.
