The Free Church Methodists have two chapels in South Normanton; one of which was Bethel Chapel, on Victoria Street. It was built in 1886 at a cost of £600. Sunday schools next door for the accommodation of 350 children were built in 1888-9, at an expense of £400. (3)
New Bethel chapel is built of red and yellow bricks with a gas lamp outside. The chapel is stood back about 10 yards from the road giving ample space for flower gardens. Between 1906-7 extra wings were added. (4)
The chapel remains in use today [2009]. (5)
