History
Beerseba Independent Chapel was built in 1805 and rebuilt in 1843. The later chapel was built in the Vernacular style with a long-wall entry plan and small pane flat-headed windows. By 2002 this chapel had fallen into disuse. The chapel most likely closed due to low attendance numbers, since of its very isolated position along an a road.

Why there's a chapel here is beyond me. No Pavement and no parking, (A quick dash up an a road is required to get to this place from the nearest parking spot.) It's clear this place has had 'photographer treatment' (set up) but that didn't remove the charm of the building. While it doesn't have the isolation factor like the scouts chapel does its still worth a visit if driving on the A458

It likely served only the few surrounding farms and houses when the A458 wasn't such a busy stretch of road. I agree with how hard it is to shoot in there, the south facing windows do it no favours at all.
