Richard Owen's chapel, one of four he designed in Aberystwyth, was in what he described as 'a free Lombardo/Italian style' and was registered on 18 November 1880. The slope of the site, effectively the gravel river cliff and the town ditch, was used to good effect so that while the main facade in Powell Street is of two storeys, the rear, facing onto Mill Street, has three. Inside there is open-bench seating for 1,500, the side pews on the ground-floor facing towards the pulpit, which backs onto the Mill Street wall; upstairs the gallery runs around three sides.
