Description
Bethel Chapel is a rectangular chapel built in a simple Gothic style. It is constructed from snecked, rough-dressed slatestone, with light grey stone dressings from Penmaenmawr, sitting on a plain chamfered plinth. The chapel features a slate roof adorned with cast iron foliated finials on stone-coped, simply-kneelered gables. The west front has a symmetrical gabled entrance with a single-storey gabled porch. This porch includes a shouldered outer arch with a roll-moulded segmental apex and a plain chamfered inner arch with blind occuli on the lintel. The entrance has recessed boarded double-doors with decorative ironwork, and above it is an inset stone dedication plaque.
Above the porch, there is a triple-window arrangement in the upper gable, featuring segmentally-arched windows with chamfered jambs and slightly-projecting cills, which are original plain marginally-glazed sashes. The north and south sides each have similar windows, with the south side featuring a 20th-century brick lean-to on its eastern bay, topped with a corrugated iron roof. The east end has three more windows arranged in a triple-window group, along with an entrance that has a boarded door and chamfered jambs to the right. A squat chimney with a moulded capping and an octagonal chimney pot is located off-centre at the gable apex.
Inside, the chapel remains plain and unaltered, with raking box pews made of pitch-pine facing the railed Set Fawr at the rear. The coved ceiling features a decorative plaster rosette.
