Bethel Congregational Chapel

Bethel Congregational Chapel is a gable end entry chapel featuring an impressive entrance facade. The building is constructed with lined-out render over brick and has a moulded cornice band along with a hipped slate roof that has red tiled cresting. The entrance front includes a pedimented centre-piece that is set forward from the main chapel body and has its own roof, while the main chapel body also has a hipped roof.

Entrances are located on either side of the advanced centre-piece, leading into the main chapel body. These entrances feature richly-panelled, renaissance-style doors framed by moulded architraves and topped with pediment hoods supported by brackets. Above each doorway, there are blind keyed oculi. The advanced centre-piece is adorned with a bold modillion cornice beneath a strongly projecting pediment, which contains an 18-pane horned sash window with a pedimented head, flanked by coupled pilasters that originate from a string course at the sill level.

The return elevations each have a four-window range, showcasing 18-pane sashes in moulded architraves with pediments supported by scrolled brackets. Inside, there is a vertically-boarded dado and contrasting black and white aisle pavements between raised pew platforms, although the pews have been removed. The ceiling is simple, featuring three decorative plaster vent roses. The inner porches have moulded plaster cornices decorated with egg-and-dart motifs, and the pavements are consistent with those in the main area.

The end wall features three classical niches, with the central niche displaying pilasters and a frieze topped by a heavy segmental pediment that has dentilations and a plain projecting key. The flanking niches have blind windows framed by moulded architraves and pediments supported on consoles.
