Baptist chapel of 1888-91 by George Morgan built to replace the adjoining chapel of 1855. There were problems with the contractor who was bankrupted, and the chapel took a long time to complete, costing £2026, the original tender price having been £1477. It was completed by R & W Williams, builders. Renovated 1933 with new organ, purchased from an English country house.
