Description

Bethesda Chapel, now an Arts Centre, was built in 1811. It features squared and coursed limestone with a moulded eaves cornice and a hipped Welsh slate roof. The building is a single cell structure with a hexagonal south end and has a single-storey hipped cross-wing attached at the north end, which has a stone slate roof. The flanks are two storeys high with two windows on each side, and there is one window on each facet of the half-hexagon. All windows are segmental-headed sashes with very slender glazing bars set in a plat-band with a keystone. The central door in the hexagon has a pair of three-panel fielded doors topped by a segmental-headed three-pane transom light. Above the doors is an inscription panel on square corbel blocks, lettered in fine 19th-century serifs, stating 'BETHESDA MDCCCXI'.

The interior has been much modified but retains a fine king-post roof, which includes radial half-trusses in the hexagon and a triple purlin, all exposed to view, as the former plaster ceiling has been removed.
