Monmouth's Congregationalists first worshipped at Dixton Gate before moving firstly to Dyffryn House on St Mary Street and then to Glendower Street. They were a prosperous and prominent congregation, with members involved in many of the town's activities, such as the eisteddfod.[3]
The building was constructed in 1843/44 to the design of architect William Armstrong of Bristol. The central bay is defined by giant Corinthian columns in antis. It is a smaller version of the Brunswick Chapel in Bristol, which Armstrong also designed.[4] The building has an impressive neoclassical façade, and memorial windows in stained glass by the Camm Brothers of Smethwick.[5]The building was listed at Grade II* on 27 October 1965[6] and, after near-complete dereliction, was converted into a private house in 2002.[2] Its owner, Anthony Sully, was awarded a substantial grant by Cadw for the conversion, which he designed himself. The project featured on three UK television programmes and won a Civic Trust for Wales award in 2003–4.[7]
