PeriodPost Medieval
DescriptionChapel associated with the 16th century and later Vaynol Old Hall (NPRN 17018), as well as the more recent mansion (NPRN 17017) and grounds (NPRN 86511).
The chapel is a single celled structure, approached through a porch, possibly a later addition, which shows a date stone of 1596. The chapel contains a small familiy crypt, abandoned for the mausoleum in the park. A larger estate chapel, Vaynol Farm Chapel (NPRN 43821), had been built by 1855.
The chapel contains a small family crypt. The interior was refurbished in the 1920s, when the interior was entirely faced with Italian marble. Some re-set 16th window glass can be seen in the side windows.
