A small private chapel built by Sir Richard Wynn in 1673. It is a simple rectangular building, 12.5m long and 8.5m wide. The doorway is in the N wall, and the building is lit by two windows in the S wall and one in the N wall W of the door. The E window is of four lights with a two centred head.
The interior is dominated by the ceiling, on which is painted a series of pictures representing divine themes.
The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of post-medieval chapels. It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of associated archaeological features and deposits. The structure itself may be expected to contain archaeological information concerning chronology and building techniques.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
