Y Bwthyn, Hebron Chapel

Cadw's description

Location

Immediately behind, and within, the graveyard of Hebron Chapel, facing a road to Berllan-dawel Farm.

History

Hebron Chapel was founded in 1803. The cottage could be slightly earlier, although it was probably used later as a minister's or caretaker's house. It is shown on the 1845 Tithe map, by which time it was owned by the chapel.

Exterior

A single-storey cottage of limewashed rubble stone, corrugated asbestos-cement roof, a large square stack to the L, smaller stack to the R, both roughcast. Openings are offset to the R of centre. A boarded door under a wooden lintel is flanked by 2-pane sashes. To the L end is a small fireplace light. A lower extension on the L side, of similar materials but partly rebuilt in brick, has a full-height boarded door and fixed window to its L. In the rear elevation of the cottage is a fixed pane window centre-L under a wooden lintel, a small-pane casement window L under the eaves, and small replaced window to the R. The extension has a fixed rear window.

Reason for designation

Listed as a small cottage, once characteristic of the region, retaining vernacular character.
