Description
Bethel Presbyterian Chapel, including the schoolroom and wall to Church Street, is a building constructed in 1820, with possible remodelling in 1869. It features painted stucco over rubble stone and has a hipped slate roof. The elaborate east front has a projected centerpiece, stepped parapets, and moulded surrounds around the openings. The plain sides have four windows, a plinth, a sill-band, arched long windows, and a cornice.
The front elevation includes long arched windows on either side of the centerpiece, which contains paired arched doors and a stepped triplet of small arched windows above. The design features a plinth, angle quoins at the centerpiece and outer angles, a moulded cornice, and parapets, with the center raised and adorned with scrolled abutments leading to a coped shallow-gabled section topped with a block finial and urn. A plaque on the gable reads: 'Bethel Adeiladwyd 1820 Ailadeiladwyd 1869'. All windows and doors have matching moulded frames with pilasters, moulded arched heads, and keystones. The outer bays have sill bands, and the center triplet features a central light with a stilted arch and timber tracery, along with panelled double doors.
The forecourt wall facing Church Street is constructed with large square grey stone piers topped with limestone ashlar caps and features spearhead iron double gates. The pier capstones have a moulded cornice beneath a square block with fluted sides and a pyramid cap.
To the southeast of the chapel is a schoolroom built around 1900, designed in a matching style with painted stucco and a slate eaves roof. This single-storey structure has paired arched windows in raised cement surrounds, with one pair on each side of a center gabled and bargeboarded porch that includes a moulded arched doorway and a blank roundel above.
The interior has not been inspected.
