Description

Capel Bethel is a chapel constructed of whitewashed rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. Originally, the entrance was located on the side facade. The front features two long arched windows with later 19th-century glazing in the center, flanked by two outer arched doors that have been blocked. A stone memorial is attached to the center of the front wall, commemorating Thomas Thomas of Maesnewydd, who died in 1844, with an ogee top inscribed with the words 'Life How Short Eternity How Long'. The south end wall displays late 19th-century projecting verges and includes one original upper window with stone voussoirs, situated above a central door and flanking windows from the late 19th or early 20th century, all featuring brick heads. The rear wall has two long arched windows with brick heads and later 19th-century glazing. The north end also has two similar long arched windows.

Inside, the chapel has a galleried layout with a lobby at the south end. The gallery features canted angles, a modillion cornice, and panels that alternate between long and square shapes. Reeded iron columns support the structure. The pulpit is located on the north end wall and has a three-sided front with quatrefoil panels. The pews are arranged in three blocks, with those on either side of the pulpit facing inward.
