Capel Salem, Llanbedr

Capel Salem is a Grade II listed building in the hamlet of Pentre Gwynfryn, near Llanbedr, Gwynedd, Wales.

This Baptist chapel building is located about a mile up river of Llanbedr, on a ridge between the two valleys.

The building was begun in 1826 and completed in 1851 but ten years later, it was extended to include the chapel house and to remodel the interior.

At a time when many homes owned no form of visual art, Salem became widely and uniquely popular amongst working class communities, especially in Wales.

The original picture now hangs in the Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight.
