Llanvair Chapel

Llanvair Chapel is a mid-19th century chapel designed in the Victorian Gothic style. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with a stone plinth and a slate roof. The west front features a gabled design with a bell-cote, a west porch, a nave, and a chancel. The west front includes a projecting single-storey gabled porch with a trefoil in the gable-head and side buttresses with raking offsets. The gable of the porch is topped with a coped design and a fleur-de-lys finial. The pointed-arched entrance doorway is adorned with a hood-mould that has foliated label-stops, and it is flanked by boarded double-doors with strap hinges. On either side of the porch, the west gable of the main chapel has a lancet window. The bell-cote slightly projects from the gable wall, rising above the porch in two stages; the lower stage features two lancet windows with a linked hood-mould, while the upper stage has a pointed-arched bell opening, a coped gable with kneelers, and a small trefoil in the gable-head.

The nave is supported by angle buttresses and has side buttresses between four lancet windows on each side. The chancel also has similar angle buttresses, with three lancet windows in the east gable and trefoil-headed lancets in each side wall. Inside, the porch contains a pointed-arched doorway and double-doors with four flush panels on each side. The west end of the chapel is enclosed by a massive 20th-century glazed screen that extends from floor to ceiling. The five-bay nave features a pointed chancel arch, with king-post tie-beam trusses resting on shaped corbels. Curved angle braces spring from the base of the king-posts to support the principal rafters on each side. The 19th-century font has a square drum, an octagonal stem, an octagonal base with a water-holding moulding, and a square plinth, topped with a domed stone cover that is crocketed. The pews have open backs and shaped ends, while the polygonal pulpit features trefoil panels on each face and a shaped rail. The east window contains stained glass from the 20th century depicting the Virgin and child.
