Babell Chapel, Cilgerran

According to Capel, the Chapels Heritage Society in their Local Information Sheet No. 14 : “Y Babell, Cilgerran, initially known as Tabernacle Calvinistic Methodist chapel, traces its origins to the labours of Howel Harris and Howel Davies, having a separate identity from about 1770. with the first building dating from 1795.It had no settled ministry until about 1875, the leading features of its church life being itinerant preaching, seiat or fellowship meetings, Sunday school and government by elders. The building was re-erected in 1822 and The Religious Census of 1851 records substantial numbers attending three Sunday services. Several notable preachers have been associated with the cause. Now without a pastor, the church is in the Welsh Presbytery of North Pembrokeshire.”
