Godre'r Rhos Independent Chapel and vestry

This is an Independent Chapel and its vestry, built in 1754 and substantially rebuilt in 1855 under the direction of H. Williams. The facade is constructed from unusually heavy, squared rock-faced rubble stone in hues of pink to brown, with the sides rendered. It has a hipped roof with flat, overhanging eaves covered in silvery slates. The plan is near square, measuring approximately 11 metres by 9.1 metres. The tall, forward-facing facade features two long arched central windows, two shorter arched gallery windows to the sides, and two flat-headed four-panel doors. All window heads are at the same level and incorporate Gothick intersecting bars. The gallery windows have 16 panes each below the heads, while the main lights contain 40 panes. Coloured glass is present in the top panes of all four windows. Stone voussoirs frame the arches, and a date plaque is positioned between them. The doors have two long and two square upper panels, with stone voussoirs over the heads. The end walls contain two 16-pane sash windows on each floor. A rubble stone, lean-to vestry is attached to the rear, and is said to incorporate fabric from the original 18th-century chapel; it is plain in appearance and has a straight joint with the main chapel.

The interior is finely decorated with painted, grained woodwork in a stippled pale yellow, accented with cornices and top rails of red-brown. A five-sided gallery is supported by four iron columns. The gallery front comprises single, long panels, beneath a bracketed cornice and a moulded top rail. Paired brackets are a distinctive feature. Pews are arranged around the gallery, including a five-sided central block housing the set fawr (minister's platform) and pulpit, with a passage running around them. The outer pews are raked upwards towards the back and side walls. The box pews have plain panelled backs and doors with rounded top rails. Behind the set fawr are two rows of matching pews. Later 19th-century pine entrance lobbies and a pulpit of likely similar date have been added. A curving staircase with balusters follows the serpentine curve of the platform on each side of the solid pulpit front, which features an arched panel, bulbous angle columns, and an upper cornice beneath the bookrest. The stair newels are chamfered with incised decoration and octagonal finials. A boarded dado runs along the pulpit wall. The ceiling is plain, with a central plaster rose. Stone steps lead to the galleries, which have plain, painted, grained open-back benches. The lean-to vestry includes a lobby at one end and a small, later 19th-century pulpit at the other.
