Description

Siloa Capel Y Annibynwyr is a simple classical chapel built in the 19th century, featuring a three-bay gabled front. The exterior is rendered and includes end pilaster strips, a stringcourse in the middle, and a cornice that creates a light pediment effect. An oval date plaque is located on the gable. The chapel has a slate roof with wide boarded eaves and round arched windows that have keystones and fluted architraves. The windows are fitted with horned sashes that include marginal glazing bars. The central entrance is also round arched and features double panelled doors topped by a five-pane semi-circular fanlight.

The side elevations consist of four bays with camber headed sashes set in square openings. At the rear, the chapel hall is stepped down and has a steeper roof, with small pane sashes on the sides. The rear gable, which faces the river, is cement rendered and has a small octagonal chimney stack. It features a round arched boarded gable window flanked by circular four-pane windows, with four-pane sashes below. Projecting stones on the southwest corner suggest that another structure may have once been attached here.

The forecourt is marked by rubble piers topped with freestone caps that rise into ball finials at the gated entrance. The gates are inscribed with 'Capel Siloa' on the lock bar, and one of the piers has a commemorative tablet. Iron railings surround the forecourt, with some uprights designed in a barley twist style.

Inside, the chapel features a galleried interior with a herringbone boarded ceiling adorned with roses. The end bays originally had different ornamentation, which has since been removed to the front end. The raked gallery has a panelled and bracketed front supported by cast iron columns. The simple classical 'set fawr' includes quatrefoil punched newels capped by ball finials. The furnishings are made of pitch pine and provide seating for approximately 900 people. There is also an attached vestry or hall that includes ceiling ventilators and a central rose.
