Maesyronnen United Reformed Chapel

The chapel comprises one large room, divided by slender C18 roof trusses into 6 bays. Walls are plastered and segmental plaster vaulted ceiling. Stone flagged floor. The tie beams are chamfered and are supported on central chamfered posts to the floor. Slender raking struts to rafters behind the ceiling. On the internal gable, an encapsulated cruck couple with traces smoke blackening of the medieval house, the tie beam removed, and stopped half-dovetail for a trenched collar, the collar now removed to a higher level. Jambs of a blocked opening pre-date the cottage stair. On the centre of the N side, a raised pulpit with panelled front. On either side a rectangular panelled boxed pew with angled bookrest, and similar boxed pew opposite, and a further late C17-early C18 elongated pew with ogee-edged planks in the SE corner.
