Salem Methodist Chapel Llandiloes

Built in 1873, by Richard Owens of Liverpool. Brown stone with painted ashlar. Strongly composed winged façade, a relatively early example of this later 19th century form, with Owens’s mix of round-arched Italianate and plate-traceried Gothic (compare Tabernacle, Aberystwyth). Big traceried roundels in the main window heads, and a colander version in the gable. Less intense interior: the galleries with long panels divided by fluted pilasters, the pulpit with arched column-shafted panels, and a flat plaster ceiling with roses. [Coflein]
