Around 1705 the Presbyterians built a chapel at the bottom of the Chipping Steps. Rev. Thomas Jones 1675-1745 may have built this at his own expense. By 1861 the church owned the cottage next door (37 Chipping Steps) which was used as a Manse. In 1953 it was listed as a building of special interest and sold in 1959 for £100.

The chapel was demolished but their burial ground remains.

Restoration of the burial ground has revealed some new stones - the one shown below unfortunately is completely eroded but the side has the ‘signature’ of the stone masons responsible.
