The first Quaker preacher in South Wales was John ap John who arrived in 1653. When he challenged the authority of a Church of England priest in Swansea he was sent to prison. George Fox visited Swansea in 1657 and found sufficient Friends to form a Quaker Meeting but for many years Neath was Glamorgan's Quaker stronghold. This building on the corner of Page Street and St Helen's Road is now dwarfed by the ugly former Sun Alliance House (now for sale) on the left.
