Plough Lane Chapel Lion Street Brecon or Plough United Reformed Church. This historic chapel is the home of one of the oldest non-conformist congregations in Breconshire. There has been a chapel on this site since the 1690s, when it took over an old ale house — hence the name. The present building dates back to 1841 and was re-modelled by Owen Morris Roberts in 1892 and is considered to be one of the finest chapel interiors in Wales. It is Grade II* listed for its very fine chapel furnishings and interior. It has a classic, galleried layout, with ornate woodwork and spectacular ceiling.[1] Particularly notable is the beautiful woodwork of the gallery fronts, pulpit and imposing Sett Fawr. The vestry contains memorial plaques from the former Glamorgan Street Congregational Church. Off the vestry is also the splendid “Minister’s toilet” with lavishly decorated toilet pan.[2]
