What is recorded here
Pen-Rhiw Unitarian Chapel stands on Castle Hill at St Fagans, a Post Medieval worship room saved within the Welsh Folk Museum. It is not a grand cathedral or a hidden ruin, but a compact chapel that carried Unitarian belief into the Cardiff landscape. The building still belongs to the museum setting, where memory and identity are displayed rather than forgotten.
