Bethel Church Restoration

The project will restore a dilapidated church into a much needed community facility in the town. Bethel Baptist Chapel is 190 years old, built in 1829 and is an unlisted building. Like many buildings in the town it has been left to run down due to the lack of financial investment and community interest in the town.

The project will replace the roof and create further space in the rooms downstairs to cater for community use. 

The project will essentially focus on 2 key themes: 

  1. Community Engagement and Wellbeing - Offering a unique, friendly and safe space for local groups to use to expand and maintain social inclusion.
  2. Enhancing the local built heritage – helping to regenerate the culture and heritage of the town.
