Description
Bethania Chapel is a 19th-century building constructed of dark local stone with pale freestone dressings, which are now painted. It features a hipped slate roof and has an entrance facade that consists of three bays and two storeys above a basement. The facade is highlighted by giant Corinthian columns at the ends and pilasters, with an entablature that has a dentil cornice supporting ball finials. A central cartouche displays the date and the inscription 'Bethania'.
The upper storey includes a central square-headed window flanked by round-arched windows, all with pale freestone architraves and sash glazing. There is a string course between the floors. The central round-arched entrance doorway is accompanied by square-headed windows on either side, also featuring pale freestone architraves and sash glazing. The basement has round-headed windows in the outer bays, with sash glazing and pale freestone architraves that have stepped heads. The side elevations contain four bays of full-height round-arched windows, designed in a simple 'Art-Nouveau' style. The ground falls to the east, where the river elevation has a basement entrance flanked by horned sash windows that light the vestry. At the rear, there is a shallow rendered full-height annexe.
Inside, the entrance door leads to a small lobby, a cloakroom, and stairs that ascend to the gallery. The chapel features a panelled and boarded ceiling, with the gallery located at the north end. The south wall houses an organ in a square-headed recess. The pews and set Fawr enclosure are made of pitch pine. Beneath the north end of the chapel is a basement vestry.
