Description

Saron Old Chapel is a chapel built in 1843, constructed from whitewashed rubble stone with a slate roof. The front wall features two large arched windows with stone voussoirs and stone sills, and to the left, there is a single plain flat-headed door also with stone voussoirs. The windows are made of 20th-century hardwood, and the door is framed and boarded. A plaque between the windows reads 'Saron Capel yr Anymddibynwyr Adeiladwyd AD 1843'. The right end wall has a blocked door.

Inside, the chapel has been mostly stripped of fittings, but a three-sided gallery remains. This gallery is supported by two thick cast-iron columns with painted marbling. The gallery front consists of long panels with shorter panels at the curved angles. There is a panelled dado on the ground floor, but there is no internal access to the gallery. Two windows at the rear of the gallery are blocked, and there is a former gallery door on the left wall. The pulpit was located on the front wall between the windows.
