CMA: Records of Ruthin Chapel, St Mary Hill, Bridgend

Records of Ruthin Chapel, St Mary Hill, comprising Sunday School register, 1973-1983, Sunday School account book, 1973-1984, account book, 1985-1988, members' contribution books, 1942-1984, and Superintendent Registrars' certificate, 1955.

Ruthin Chapel, originally built as a schoolroom for Salem Chapel, Pencoed, was opened in 1890. As a result of its convenient location it became a Chapel of Ease for the Methodists living in Mynydd Ruthin and its vicinities. Although later recognised as a church in its own right, it was always linked with Salem in that it shared the same ministry. Salem, Mynydd Ruthin and Soar Rhiwceiliog united as a pastorate in 1957. The chapel was closed in 1992.

Arranged at NLW into six files: Sunday School register; Sunday School account book; account book; two members' contribution books; and Superintendent Registrars' certificate.
