The Facts

closing in Wales at the rate of one a week

congregations are finding it impossible to maintain their
buildings

large numbers of chapel records and documents are destroyed or
lost, despite the fact that nonconformity is of great importance
in the history both of Wales generally and of local communities
- Dozens of
chapels are demolished each year, others are unsympathetically
converted to other uses without first being photographed or
recorded
- Many chapel
buildings are of outstanding architechural interest but few are
