St Mary
Newport, Gwent
Beautiful gothic style church built in 1839 with impressive integral tower and stained glass.
Bethel Community Church is an old Wesleyan Church, opened in 1884, and is described in the CADW listing as an impressive Gothic chapel by a prominent firm of local architects. Architecturally it is built in pennant stone with bathstone dressings. There is a spire, with a bell stage and a gothic doorway. There are gabled bays and the windows are varied, both gothic and geometric with shouldered arches and lights and with geometrical tracery. There is a large tripartite Decorated style window. Bethel Community Church bought the building in the early 60's and have converted it with the lower level used for schoolrooms and community use, a worship area (also occasionally used by the community) at street level.
