Description
Bethel Chapel was built in 1852 to the design of the surveyor, Watkins, of Llangorse. Bethel became disused as a chapel from 1980 when the congregation merged with Brecon Presbyterian Church in The Watton (NPRN:6007), but the shell has been retained, as part of the Bethel Square re-development of shops, and the panelled ceiling remains. Built in the Sub-Classical style, of the short-wall entry type, the chapel has stone walls and a slate hipped roof. The stone flags in the passage to Bethel Chapel, through the Arch, form part of [Welsh Office] Grade II Listing 6/378.The dwarf wall, railings and gates in the forecourt to Bethel Chapel form Grade II Cadw [Welsh Office] Listing 6/385.
