Recorded in Non-Conformist Chapels and Meeting Houses, Gloucestershire (1986) as built 1844, this date is also as shown on the datestone in the gable end.
It is marked on various Old Maps (for example 1903 1:10,560) as one of 3 chapels in Hawkesbury Upton. The others were Baptist (in Back Street) and Methodist (known as 'Jubilee Chapel', also in Back Street).
It is marked on OS Maps of 1882 as Independent Chapel, but latterly better known as Bethesda United Reform Church.
It also mentions a small graveyard attached to the chapel, in which 12 memorials have been identified.
