Situated on the corner of New Street and Castle Street, this chapel was adopted by the Unitarians around 1906. It had been built in around 1810 and had previously served as an estate office for the Nanteos Estate, a stable/coach house, then, from 1853, a Quaker Meeting House, and finally a bookshop in the late 19th Century. It ceased to be used as a chapel in 1976. Grade II listed - see http://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=en&id=10322.

Fascinating little grade II listed building on New Street, originally a coach house and stable to 6 Laura Place built c1810. In 1853 it became the Quaker Meeting House and later a bookshop before acquisition by the Unitarians in October 1906 when John Hartland of Cardiff added the façade. In March 1976 the chapel closed and it became a museum until 1998, followed by disuse before restoration in 2011 to its current use as a house. It has two claims to fame as the smallest Nonconformist chapel in Wales and former place of worship for David Ivon Jones http://www.sahistory.org.za/people/david-ivon-jones who was a key figure in the South African civil rights movement and the African National Congress, recognised on the plaque below the centre window.
