As many chapels in this area have biblical references in their names, it may be that Bethania refers to Bethany, a small village near Jerusalem. Eglwys y Bedyddwyr means Baptist church. Members of this denomination believe that followers of Jesus Christ demonstrate their faith by being baptised (most commonly by immersion in water) and are not in favour of infant baptism. The building is dated 1905.
