Description
Bethany Baptist Chapel was built in 1858 ( to the design of architect William Gilbert Habershon) and modified in 1867 with the addition of a new choir gallery. A new facade was added in 1875 and enlarged in 1893 when the chapel's ancillary buildings were extended into the rear graveyard, the choir gallery moved over the 1875 vestry, and a large new Sunday School wing added. The present chapel, dated 1875, is built in the Simple Round Headed/Sub-Classical style with a whiff of Lombardo-Italianate idiom. This chapel has a gable entry plan and two storeys.
