Adfail trist Capel y Trefnyddion Bethel, Tregwyr. Cyn codi'r capel addolai'r aelodau mewn ysgubor yn Waunarlwydd. Codwyd yr addoldy presennol yn 1873. Un person adnabyddus a addolai yma oedd William (Mabon) Abraham (1842-1922), llywydd cyntaf Undeb Glowyr De Cymru. Yn anffodus caewyd y capel yn 2000 oherwydd cyflwr yr adeilad. The sad ruin of Bethel Welsh Methodist Chapel in Gowerton. The early worshippers met in a barn in Waunarlwydd and the present chapel was built in 1873. One notable member who worshipped at Bethel was William (Mabon) Abraham (1842-1922), the first president of the South Wales Coal Miners. Sadly, due to the state of the building the chapel finally closed its doors in July 2000.
