Description
The Church of the Holy Spirit is a 19th-century building that features roughcast render, likely applied over local rubble stone, and is topped with a Welsh slate roof. It has a simple rectangular shape and is primarily lit from the front. The main façade includes a central gabled porch with a keyed 4-centred head, which is probably from the same period as the church. Flanking the porch are two tall windows set high, each with 16 over 16 pane sashes. These windows also have keyed 4-centred heads adorned with Y tracery. A bell is positioned to the left of the left-hand window head. The roof has a plain low pitch, and both the gable and rear walls are blind.
Originally, the Congregational chapel featured a set fawr on the back wall, but the Anglicans relocated the altar to the west wall and partitioned off the east end for use as a schoolroom. The interior is now entirely plain and has been ceiled.
