Capel Salem is a Grade II listed former chapel in Pwllheli, Gwynedd, Wales. It was originally built in 1862 for the Calvinistic Methodists, to the designs of the architect Thomas Thomas of Landore.[1] In 1893 it was remodelled and enlarged. A fire was started in 1913 by a local person who tried to steal money from the chapel; when he found none he set fire to the building. It was then closed until 1915 after restoration.[2]
Capel Salem in 2019
In 2022 the chapel and its hall, which had been on the market for 12 years, were purchased by the potter Keith Brymer Jones and his wife Marjory Hogarth. Jones has stated that they plan to convert the property into a studio and living quarters, and eventually to open it up to the local community.[3]
