Description
Capel Newydd, also known as Glynogwr Methodist Chapel, is a 19th-century chapel built of coursed Pennant sandstone, featuring ashlar voussoirs above the round-headed windows and a slate roof, with the gable and rear walls rendered. The front has two tall paned windows facing the road, with a well-lettered plaque between them that reads "GLYNOGWR / CALVINISTIC METHODIST CHAPEL, Rebuilt in the AD / 1849." At either end of the building, there are blocked round-headed door openings that originally had similar voussoired arches. A low entrance porch with a parallel roof includes a side door.
Inside, the chapel has a simple and attractive country chapel interior, with the walls rendered and lined out to resemble ashlar. The ceiling features a central ventilation rose. At the east end, there is a part octagonal pulpit with carved sides, set against an arched recess flanked by fluted pilasters. The rectangular set fawr has rounded corners. A timber screen separates the interior from the entrance porch, and there are twenty-nine pine pews.
