Soar English Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Aberystwyth

 
 
 

Built: 1844

Style: Simple Rounded Headed style

Architect: J. Lumley of Aberystwyth (and builder in 1863), John Pollard Seddon (1868)

History: This chapel was the first English Nonconformist chapel built in Aberystwyth, with only ten members to begin with. The popularity of the English speaking chapel grew to 76 members and 174 members in 1851, due to its growing numbers within the congregation an enlargement was required in 1863 and again in 1880.

The chapel closed in 1870 and was taken over by the Salvation Army in 1918, and is still in use by them today.
