History

Capel Peniel was built in 1866, and the school and master's house are probably contemporary with it.

Exterior

The schoolroom with the master's house, Tan Capel, attached at its lower end are built of local rubble with a continuous slate roof and eaves. The schoolroom is single storey, with a boarded door and overlight at the lower end, and three 12-pane horned sash windows. Slate sills. Gable brick stack. At the upper end, a wall containing a wide arch connects the schoolroom with the chapel house, the arch leading to a service yard. Tan Capel, now 2 cottages, is attached to the N gable end and is part of the same build. No 1 has C19 plate glass sash windows and a modern door; No 2 has a modern panelled hardwood door and its original 4-pane sash windows. At the centre, above the doors, a large recessed panel with the inscription TAN CAPEL M C 1888. Gable end stack.

Reasons for Listing
