Projects to record Chapels

The National Library of Wales (NLW)

The Library is creating a database listing records of Nonconformist chapels in archive repositories. The catalogue is available for public use in the catalogue room of the Department (for opening hours visit the National Library of Wales web site)

The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW)

The Royal Commission is presently co-ordinating the recording of Nonconformist chapels in Wales. The aim is to produce a basic written and, where possible, photographic record of each chapel. More intensive records, including measured surveys, are being made of buildings considered to be of particular architectural, historical or religious significance. A computerised database is at the heart of this project and this is available through the Royal Commission's website. It may also be viewed in the National Monuments Record of Wales library at the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (for opening hours visit the Royal Commission website).


Please let Capel know of any other projects. Contact the Secretary.
