Would someone be able to help with information about two Welsh Chapels in London, please? One is the Crosby Row Welsh Chapel in Southwark. It was functioning from 1855 to 1865 as far as I know; probably before and after as well. The other is Wilton Square Welsh Chapel in what was Finsbury [I believe] but is now referred to as Islington. It was active in 1870 but that is all I know. There is no evidence of either chapel on Google maps unless the Anglican Church on Crosby Row is it and a very modern block of flats on Wilton Square possibly built on the site of the chapel. My interest stems from the connection with Crosby Row and my great grandfather; Wilton Square with his brother. Many thanks in advance Edward

Dear Edward The London Branch of the Welsh Family History Societies maintains on its website a list of Welsh chapels and churches in London - see http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wlslbfhs/chapels.htm , items MC1-3 and MC21 . This is very much a "work in progress" and we would welcome comments from anyone who spots errors or has more infomation. There are pictures of Wilton Square Chapel and of Southwark Welsh Congregational Chapel on the Collage website of the London Guildhall and Metropolitan archives - go to http://collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk/collage/ and enter "Welsh chapel". This is a wonderful resource for pictures of London.
