Former Zoar Baptist Chapel
This former chapel is now a 'Chapel of Rest'.
Built in 1854, the lean-to at the side was the caretaker's cottage.

The chapel reputedly cost £60 to build, but David Evans,a deacon and prominent member,
did most of the haulage for free.
The small lean-to 2 room cottage at the side was built by John Morgan
as a caretaker's cottage at a cost of £20.

In 1935 a porch and entrance gate were erected in memory of the late
Mr and Mrs Griffith Harries and their son Tom Harries,
by the surviving children.
The seat in the porch was made and presented by the late Mr Lewis Thomas, Amroth.
