Mountain Chapel Closure

After its closure in 1999 and local campaigning the chapel was saved from being converted into a dwelling but was partially demolished and handed over to Amroth Community Council to become a Garden of Remembrance for the village.
With the help of a grant from PLANED, fundraising and donations from relatives, the area was gravelled and planters installed.

The Vestry was sold by the U.R.C. and divided off from the graveyard by a wall made from stones from the chapel buiding, the dwelling incorporated the vestry and was called Katelios.

The property ansd plot was being sold by R.K.Lucas and Son in 2001/2 and the sketches show the before and after plans of the site.

The above existing plan shows the location of the Chapel and the Vestry, with a small gate to the north and a large gate to the eastern side near the Vestry.
 

The proposed plan shows the graveyard being divided off from the Vestry by a wall made from stones from the demolished Chapel.  A new side entrance has to be made into the graveyard from Stoney Road.  The new dwelling is to be joined on to the old Vestry.
