Cadw's description
Location
Chelsea Lane runs at right-angles to the S side of High Street.
Exterior
Built in 1811. Rough local granite rubble, with slate roof. Doorways at either end of the long elevation, with segmental voussoir heads, and 3 high round-headed windows, with simple Y-traceried glazing. Central tall window with cambered voussoir head in upper gable end, and lower 2-light windows below.
A good example of a simple early C19 chapel which retains its original character.
