History
Bethel Methodist Chapel was the third Calvinist chapel to be built in Newtown, the largest town in the county of Powys, Wales. It was originally constructed in 1810 and was later replaced in 1820. The present chapel was constructed on the site between 1875 and 1876. The Gothic style building, with its gable entry plan and flanking turrets, was designed by Richard Owens of Liverpool who was a distinguished architect at that time. The entire construction cost just over £2,300; most of this went towards the front elevation which is squared in masonry and sandstone dressings, the two buttresses to the main gable which at one time featured two individual spirelets, a large central wooden door and the slate roof tiles. The remainder of the building was constructed out of an inexpensive yellow brick. It is estimated that the former chapel once seated approximately 450 people.

The chapel is located pretty much on the main street, surrounded by a few businesses from behind and apparently chickens from what I could hear! The building is quite a nice derp with a rather odd colour scheme for an abandoned church, which made it stand out for certain. altogether a nice surprise to see it was doable after a while since I've last seen it on here. Also worth mentioning be very careful with the floors in here! Having fell through the floor at the scouts camp I was certainly on edge.

Had a brief look at this one a few years back but the only way in was in full view of the car wash behind it, so sacked it off. Still on the to do list!

Was there a few years ago, surprised how it doesn't seem to have altered much at all.
