Bethesda Chapel

Bethesda Chapel is a Congregational chapel built in 1818, as indicated by the datestone. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with squared limestone on the sides and rear, featuring tooled and chamfered sandstone dressings and a plinth, topped with a pantile roof. The building is two stories high with three bays and has a pedimented gable end facing the street. Currently, all openings are boarded up. The ground floor has round-headed doorways made of voussoirs, flanking a lunette. The first-floor windows are also round-headed, and there is a roundel in a raised surround on the pediment, inscribed with "BETHESDA 1818 CHAPEL." All windows have painted stone sills. The left and right returns feature single radial-glazed lunettes beneath semicircular arches, and there is a paired modillion eaves course. At the rear, there are two round-headed, two-light windows, with coped gables and shaped kneelers present only at the rear. Inside, radial-glazed windows remain, with colored glass in those at the rear. The ceiling is coved and includes a clock at the center, surrounded by a painted and moulded star-burst design.
