The English Congregational Chapel was built in 1844 and modified during the 1880's. The Independent cause had met from c.1816 in a chapel on the southern side of High Street (NPRN: 11479) but by 1844 "the smallness and unfavourable locality" of this chapel had led the English cause to the building of a new chapel on a different site in New Street (MCJ, Montgomeryshire Collections, 17 (1884). This was designed by architect J.Vaughan of Oswestry, in the Gothic style with a gable entry plan and tall windows. The chapel opened on 7 July, 1844. This building is no longer used as a chapel, having been converted for use as a shop, but is still Grade 2 Listed as an unusual example of it's style, as well as the exceptional quality of the terracotta work to the principle elevation.
