Capel Bethlehem including attached vestry block

A classical style chapel of coursed rock-faced stone and rusticated dressings, and a replaced tile roof. The 3 bay gable end front has a central bay recessed beneath a glorification arch that breaks through the cornice of a pedimented gable. The openings in the central bay have ashlar dressings, moulded capitals and keystones. A pair of round-headed doorways has double panelled doors. Above this is a pair of round-headed windows with geometrical tracery and a sill band. A tablet under the glorification arch is in white marble on 2 moulded corbels and records the date of the building in engraved letters. The outer bays have tall round-headed windows with similar tracery and sill bands. Beneath the apex is a small vented oculus. The 3-window L side wall is roughcast and has a sill band and round-headed windows. The rear has a lower gabled pebble-dashed projection housing the deacon's room. The R side wall has similar openings to the L side. Attached at the rear is a low wing behind the later vestry and school room, which is T-shaped in plan and built of snecked rock-faced stone with tile roof. Its gable-end front has a central doorway within the shadow of a former gabled porch. A pair of round-headed windows are beneath the apex. Round-headed windows to the L and R are blocked, as are those of the side walls.

The entrance vestibule has 2 round-headed windows with coloured glass, and a central dividing wall with an arched opening. The doorways, including doorways to the stairs R and L, have overlights and panelled doors. The main chapel has a moulded cornice and a boarded panel ceiling with a central large ceiling rose. A fine 4-sided raked gallery, lower at the rear end behind the pulpit, is carried on tapering cast iron columns with stylised leaf capitals. The ornate fretwork gallery front incorporates a frieze of S-shaped scrolls. Behind the pulpit is a moulded 4-centred arch over a recess housing the organ. The present organ was inserted in 1930. The pulpit, added mid C20, has blind round-arch panels and is flanked by steps with square moulded newels and turned balusters. The set fawr has a panelled dado, cast iron panels with scrolls and foliage. The walls are of scribed plaster. The main floor is ramped and the original seating is retained, with numbered pews and moulded pew ends with rounded tops.
