Item: 203406
Surname: Bethel Chapel, Lambton
First Name: -
Ship: LH
Date: 1868
Place: 43A Dickson-street, Lambton
Source: Newcastle Morning Herald 26 January 1935
Details: Bethel capel, annibynol adeiladwyd, A.D. 1868. - So runs the inscription engraved in stone in front of the little Congregational Church at Lambton. To the average passer-by, this means nothing. Perhaps it may rouse a fleeting curiosity, but nothing more. That is because the inscription is in Welsh. If it was merely written in English, Bethel Independent Chapel, built A.D. 1868, nobody would even give it a second glance. Yet, what a story that stone could tell! How few even guess at its romantic history? The opening scene of its story is set at Llangwig, in Wales. The year is 1854. In Llangwig is the big Carmel Church, and its pastor is Rev. Evan Lewis, the man designed to do a great work in Newcastle, and to found and guide Lambton Church for 38 years. In 1864, in response to an urgent call from three Churches, known as the Junction, Wallsend, and Minmi, in the district of Newcastle, in this State, he decided to come to Australia. Arriving at Newcastle on April 5, with his family, he at once took charge of the work-a task which few men would undertake even now, with all our increased facilities for travel. In those days, he was obliged to trust no other means of conveyance than his, own legs to cover the ground. This went on for about two years. Then, about the year 1866, several mines in the Wallsend district were flooded out, and the miners concerned - mostly Welsh Congregationalists, or Independents, as they were then called - crossed over to Lambton in a body. So in this year Mr. Lewis decided to found a cause at Lambton. This he did, and devoted the remainder of his life to looking after it. The chapel is built of roughly hewn sandstone blocks quarried locally. The foundation blocks are approximately two feet thick
