Disgrifiad
Interior photography by John Ball - 16th January 2001 (with Sony Mavica MVC-FD91 digital camera)
Image 1:
On entering the chapel from the back, one's eyes are immediately drawn to these two magnificent stained glass windows above the pulpit, shown in detail Image 2, 3.
Image 4:
The pulpit with its lovingly polished woodwork.
Image 5:
Hidden stairways lead one up onto the balcony from where this view of the pulpit was taken.
Image 6:
Looking to the back of the chapel, one can see the rows of polished wooden pews on both ground and upper levels. The two doors lead to the vestry. Note the clock, clearly visible to the preacher but not to the congregation!
Image 7:
Those seated in the back pews on the balcony are rewarded with this wonderful view of the chapel. Note the blue fabric draped over the front of the lectern. The drape features a gold inscription embroidered on the white pages of an "open book" (see detail below).
Image 8:
Hwn yw gâir Duw (This is the word of God)
Image 9:
Returning to the lower level, one can see the sturdy columns supporting the balcony, and the enclosed wooden pews. Locals tell me the wooden seats are narrow and uncomfortable, especially after sitting through a long sermon! The door at the end leads into the vestry.
Image 10:
These numbered pews in the back corner of the chapel are quite tiny.
Image 11:
The vestry now doubles as a Sunday School classroom, but years ago, Sunday School classes were held simultaneously in different corners of the main chapel.
