Description

Built of local rock-faced stone with sandstone ashlar dressings and a slate roof. A two-stage facade, gabled above the upper string. On the ground floor, a central pair of panelled doors in a round voussoired arch , the keystone slightly emphasised, and margin-glazed round-headed windows either side. Above the string, the quoins become flush end pilasters. Central triple window, each light narrow and round headed, and the side bays have similar windows to the ground floor. In the tympanum, a high-set small aedicule, and keyed oculi either side of a central date stone reading BETHLEHEM / CAPEL Y BEDYDDWYR / 1871, and below, AIL-ADEILADWYD 1876. Foundation stone under the lower left window. At the sides, 2 tiers of 4 margin-glazed round headed windows. Basement.

The front retaining wall is of rock-faced sandstone with ashlar dressed copings, and a central iron gate.

The interior is plastered, with a flat ceiling and large ventilation rose at the centre in its original colouring. It retains a timber gallery on three sides, panelled between pilasters, and with modillion brackets in the lower mouldings, all supported on iron columns, and stairs each side from the front lobby. The pulpit and pews were removed during conversion in 1995-6. The large vestry situated below the chapel has four cast iron columns.
