Salem Baptist Chapel
The Baptist cause may have started at Fagwyr as a branch from Swansea about 1657 to 1677.
They built Bryn Salem in 1777, later to become known as Salem.
In 1789, the Gymanfa accepted Salem, where Morgan Rees and Jonathan Francis alteratively administered the communion.
J Francis became pastor here, and Jonathan Davies took charge from 1808 to 1823.
In 1815 the chapel was rebuilt and enlarged.
David Thomas followed J Davies in 1824. Morgan Lewis came then in 1840, left in 1845.
