Llanfihangel Tal-y-llyn Sion Chapel was built in 1832 and rebuilt in
1839 and 1865. The chapel is built in the Vernacular style of the
long-wall entry type and has an attached chapel house. It was still in
use as a chapel in 1994 but has subsequently been decommissioned and
converted to a private dwelling.
Architectural external details: Built 1832 in stone with a slate gable
roof. The main façade faces south and it has a single rectangular
entrance door. On the ground floor are two longitudinal rectangular
eight-pane fixed windows to the centre with two eight-panes to either
side.
The northern elevation has a boundary with adjoining property plus two
ten-pane longitudinal windows with opening lights. There are no
particular features on the west gable end and the eastern
wall adjoins chapel house.
Internal details: It had plastered walls and ceiling with Dado
panelling, tongue and groove flooring and aisles with separate bench
pews. Three rows of longitudinally aligned pews to either side of sedd

people. On the west side of chapel there was a rectangular raised
platform enclosed by wood panelling. No fixed seats. Classical moulded
arch reredos in the recess.
On the west wall there was an inscription "Praise The Lord". Three
steps led up from either side of square pulpit, panelled with gothic
niches and a fixed lectern with two wrought iron lamp holders on either
side of pulpit with a Bench speaker's seat and two lamp holders on the
eastern wall. There were two portable organs either side of pulpit.
