Bethesda Congregational Chapel

The Bethesda Congregational Chapel is set back from the road, accessed by a straight, slightly rising path leading from the gates to the door. The front gable and the left side of the building are rendered, while the right side and the rear are constructed of plain stone. The roof is covered with slate and features a plain bargeboard and a finial at the front.

The front elevation includes central double doors flanked by tall round-headed windows. Above the door is a name tablet that displays the dates of construction, rebuilding, and restoration. At the top of the front gable, there is a round ventilator surrounded by moulding. The render features decorative rusticated quoins, and there are decorative surrounds around the door and windows. The windows are fitted with thick glazing bars, and the door has a large fanlight with one central glazing bar. The side and rear elevations have two windows each, similar to those at the front, but these include a mullion and transom with margin glazing.

Inside, the chapel has a compact layout with three main blocks of pews. The pulpit is a notable tall structure, accessed by six steps on each side, and features shaped handrails with decorative newels and finials at both the front and rear, along with tall thin turned balusters. Behind the pulpit is an arched feature adorned with gilded details.

The gallery is three-sided and supported by decorative cast-iron columns, with a panelled front and single stairs leading to the rear.
