Melincwrt Independent Chapel

Melincwrt Independent Chapel is a 19th-century chapel featuring a rendered or roughcast exterior with a slate roof and a chimney on the left end. The long-wall facade includes two plain arched windows at the center, which are small-paned sashes that lack their original fanlights and are now boarded over. There are also two small arched upper gallery lights with 20th-century plastic glazing, and slightly further out, two plain cambered-headed doors. A slate plaque from 1999 is positioned between the windows, covering an earlier plaque that read 'Melincwrt 1799'. The eaves are supported by paired brackets. The end walls are rendered, while the rear is slate-hung and features two upper arched gallery lights with 20th-century plastic glazing.

Inside, the chapel boasts an exceptional interior characterized by primitive simplicity. The floor is stone-flagged, and there is a white-painted five-sided gallery, which is panelled in vertical sections and supported by three timber octagonal posts at the front and two at the back. The underside of the flat plastered gallery features a single 20th-century flight of stairs located in the rear right corner. The panelled box pews include some fielded panels, indicating that some older woodwork has been reused. The pews along the rear wall are slightly raked, and the aisle follows the line of the gallery, dividing off an inner block of pews that are set fawrward of the pulpit. The set fawr consists of a simple bench on two of the three sides of the pulpit enclosure, which has two doors. Behind each side of the pulpit are box pews. The plain square pulpit appears to be from the 20th century and has a single flight of steps leading up from the right. The back of the pulpit is white-painted and panelled, topped with a pediment. The plaster ceiling features a small acanthus rose, and the galleries have open back benches with diagonally crossed timbers in their backs.
