Description
The Chapel of the former Pen-y-fal Hospital is a 19th-century church built in a cruciform shape, designed in the Decorated Gothic style. It features snecked bull-nosed red sandstone rubble masonry, accented with freestone bands and window dressings, and has a tall natural slate roof topped with red tile cresting. The church includes a 4-bay nave, transepts, an apsidal chancel, and an octagonal fleche at the crossing.
The west front showcases a 5-light Geometric window above a full-width porch with twin gable arched entrances, flanked by single light windows. The main window has a taller central light and three quatrefoils in the head. The nave is adorned with lancet windows set between stepped buttresses. The transept windows are four-light and similar in style to the west end window. The main entrance is now located at the north transept, where a gabled porch intersects with the base of the window above. A cylindrical chimney stack is present on the south transept. The east end is semi-octagonal, featuring gables above 2-light ogee windows. The roofs are very steeply pitched, and the fleche is topped with an open traceried bellcote and a crocketed top.
The interior was not inspected during the resurvey, but a scissor truss roof was reported at the time of listing in 1992.
