Wreck of the Week

After including a chapel  in my last post, I thought I'd show you a few more former places of worship. Sion Chapel, in the village of Scleddau, a couple of miles from Fishguard in  Pembrokeshire , is Grade II listed and comes with planning permission (and corresponding price hike) to turn it into a house.

Tho' my guess is that you might want to rethink the restaurant idea out of season. On the market through John Francis at offers around £180k. Details and more pictures here John Francis also has the interesting (and cheap!) pair of properties, below. Carmel Chapel is being sold with its pews and pulpit, along wit...
