Brief description

https://www.dai-lewis.co.uk/view/1696-bedyddwyr-bethlehem-baptist-chapel/

August 2024 "A substantial stone/slate built Grade II listed part end of terrace 2 storey Chapel with further lower ground Vestry and adjoining on one side ‘Minister’s Room’ set in the centre of the popular Pembrokeshire Coastal Market Town of Newport and suited for possible conversion (subject to necessary consents) to additional community use/commercial use e.g. restaurant or remotely possibly for open market residential use (as per noted in pre-planning comments of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority’s Planning Dept.)

Description The property as noted is a substantial building, with enclosed front courtyard and small courtyard to the rear bounding with the lower ground floor Vestry.  There is also external access via an enclosed side path, giving access out from the Vestry’s kitchen and steps up to the Minister’s Room.

The property was listed by CADW (The Welsh Listed Buildings Agency (part of Welsh Government) in April 1992 – Ref No: 12512.  The current building was erected circa 1855 and we note that the current pulpit and pipe organ were installed some 70 years ago and therefore deemed not as architecturally important to the original features of the Building.  The Building has not been in use since the beginning of the Covid 19 lockdown period, with only a final deconsecration service held in December 2023."
