Old Bethel Chapel

Old Bethel Chapel is a 18th-century building constructed from whitewashed rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. The facade, facing south, features a simple and balanced design with a pair of pointed-arched windows at the center, flanked by doorways on either side and smaller pointed-arched windows at the ends for the gallery stairs. The windows are adorned with wooden glazing bars, Y-tracery heads, and stone voussoirs, with painted stone sills and external shutters. The doorways have flat-arched stone voussoirs and plank doors. A small plaque on the upper wall, inscribed in a vernacular style, indicates that the chapel was built in 1773. The gable ends are plain, while the back wall includes a centrally located projecting stone stack with stepped offsets.

Inside, the chapel boasts a fine 18th-century interior characterized by great simplicity. The pulpit is situated between the entry doors on the long side, with a raked gallery on three sides opposite. The floor is made of stone flags, and the ceiling is flat and whitewashed, divided into six bays with visible soffits of tie beams. The gallery is supported by cast-iron columns and later supports that replaced the original timber piers, although one original pier remains. Stairs at either end lead up to the gallery, which features a simple wooden balustrade with stick balusters and a clock inset in a panel opposite the pulpit. The ground floor contains a central double block of box-style pews and two side blocks, some of which have fielded panels and simply curved bench ends. The gallery has plain raked box seats with open backs and a top rail featuring inset candleholders. The hexagonal pulpit drum and stem rise from a wooden base shaft, accompanied by a large seat in the box pew to the left and deacons' benches in front. Opposite the pulpit on the long wall, there is a fireplace with a raised iron fire-basket set in a flush whitewashed brick surround.
