Bethel Methodist Chapel originated in a schism within the congregation at Witchfield when the majority of the members supported the Wesleyan Reform Movement and formed their own congregation. The building was erected in 139 days, starting on Good Friday 1853 and opening in September the same year. Bethel originally joined the Wesleyan Reform Union, but they later joined the United Methodist Free Churches but withdrew in 1942 and has been independent ever since. The graveyard is divided into two sections. The old part opened in 1852 and the new part opened in 1939. The old section of the graveyard was closed to new burials in the 1980's. There are Memorial Walls containing ashes, one of which was moved from the now closed Witchfield Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Shelf.
