    1. [MON] 'Greig' Chapel Grosmont - Info required
    2. John Ball
    3. Dear Listers, I am seeking information about a nonconformist chapel situated near Greig Farm in the parish of Grosmont, MON, at Grid Reference SO376224. The chapel is described in the Coflein online database as 'Salem Chapel' (NPRN 12994) - www.coflein.gov.uk/ - but I believe it is also referred to as 'Greig Zion Chapel'. Its MIs are included in the Gwent FHS publications list, where it is identified as 'Greig, Zion Primitive Methodist' on fiche #37. The Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, published in 1886, identifies it as 'Zion Chapel (Primitive Methodist)' - www.old-maps.co.uk/ I have been sent a photograph of the chapel taken in 2008, described as 'Greig Zion Baptist Chapel'. I assume the term Greig is used because the chapel is on the Greig estate (Greig Farm and Greig Lodge are nearby), but does anyone know anything about the history of the chapel, and whether it has ever been known as Salem Chapel? Perhaps the Coflein database is wrong. I'd be grateful for any help in sorting out these details before I add the chapel to the 'Welsh Churches and Chapels Collection' on my website.
