Cardiff Guildford Street United Methodist Free Churches chapel, Glamorgan

In 1883 Guildford Street UMFC chapel underwent extensive alterations and improvements which were described thus in a newspaper report:
“The principal feature in the work is the erection of an organ gallery behind the pulpit, with a staircase and entrance for the choir, the organ itself having been taken down, thoroughly repaired, and rebuilt in this new position. Two vestries have been constructed under the gallery. The chapel has been well ventilated by a Borle’s patent air pump ventilator, fixed on the highest point of the roof. The whole of the interior has been coloured and decorated from special designs made by the architect, Mr E H Burton, under whose superintendence the alterations have been carried outby the contractors, Messrs Purnell and Fry, of Cardiff and Penarth.”
