Records of the Tabernacle Church, Shrewsbury

A file of papers consisting of correspondence, accounts, a plan of property in Dogpole, Shrewsbury for sale in 1864, a probate of the will of Edward Parry of The Terrace, Aberangell, Merioneth, a brief history of the cause, 1842-1896 and a memorandum of the appointment of new trustees.

The Welsh Congregational Church, the Tabernacle, in Shrewsbury, was founded in 1842. Services were initially held in a room in Howard Street but by 1845 this room had become too small for the growing congregation and a small chapel was built on Bide Hill at the cost of £800. During the ministry of Rev. John Davies of Henryd, another chapel was built in Dogpole.
