Description

Bridgetown Methodist Chapel, originally known as Siloam Bible Christian Chapel, was built in 1862 and includes an adjoining church hall, garage, and front walls. The structure is made of stone rubble with yellow brick dressings. The chapel has a rectangular plan with its entrance located in the gable end facing the road. Inside, the rostrum is positioned along the long right side, with tiered seating arranged to face it. Attached to the front left is a rectangular church hall, and to the front right is a double garage, also rectangular in shape.

The exterior features a gable end at the front and is a single storey high. There is a small 19th-century gabled porch with plank doors on both sides of the entrance. Above the entrance is a datestone that reads 'Siloam Bible Christian Chapel 1862'. The barge boards have a pendant finial. The left side and rear elevations are hung with rag slates, while each side has two 19th-century round-headed windows with radiating glazing bars, similar to those found at the rear. The church hall on the left has two matching windows on its front elevation, which also features yellow brick dressings, and its left side is slightly set back. The symmetrical left gable end has two 19th-century round-headed windows with intersecting glazing bars and a central blind niche above. The single-storey double garage attached to the front right has sliding plank doors from the early to mid-20th century. The front wall of the chapel is constructed of stone rubble with brick dressings and includes simple granite gate piers.

Inside, the chapel retains its original 19th-century raked seating and rostrum, with the Lord's Prayer displayed on a board above the rostrum.
