Abstract: |
Historic building recording of a disused Methodist chapel in the grounds of Chy-an-Gwyth was carried out by AC Archaeology during October 2011. The recording was undertaken in advance of the conversion of the currently derelict structure into a single dwelling. The chapel was constructed in the late 18th or early 19th century, and in typical Methodist style comprised a single space with a small porch (now removed). In the mid-19th century galleries were added at first-floor level. The walls of the chapel were raised to accommodate these galleries and the existing window openings were altered to provide further light. A vestry was added to the northwest side of the chapel. The principal function of the chapel may have been in decline by the latter part of the 19th century due to the construction of a neighbouring larger Methodist Hall some 100m to the west. From 1907 the building was used as a Sunday School, and further alterations to the window and door openings took place. The chapel appears to have been abandoned sometime during the mid-20th century, and no internal fittings survive. The condition of the building deteriorated rapidly during the later 20th century. |
