Description
Bethel Chapel is a building constructed from roughcast rubble stone, featuring a slate roof with bracket eaves and two iron ridge ventilators, dating from around 1900. The chapel has a broad lateral front that includes two large 24-pane main windows and 12-pane outer gallery lights, positioned above added gabled porches with ledged doors. A central plaque reads: "Bethel Aber-arth Addoldy yr Trefnyddion Calfinaidd Adailadwywd yn y flwyddyn 1803 Ail adailadwyd yn y flwyddyn 1848." The openings have plain raised cement surrounds and raised strips at the outer angles.
The west end is also roughcast and has a 16-pane window. At the northwest angle, there is an added stable and coach-house, which includes a ground floor window and door, along with a loft window above. The loft features a cart-entry in the end wall, built into the bank. The openings have yellow-brick heads. The east end has a 16-pane ground floor window and a boarded loft opening.
Inside, the chapel has no galleries and features a raked interior with tightly packed painted-grained box pews arranged in six blocks radiating outwards from a five-sided passage around a central block of pews, which surrounds the great seat and pulpit. The pulpit has a fretwork panelled front, and the walls and ceiling are plain plastered.
