The hidden chapel of menswear
“I give you the curiosity of the Chapel in the middle of the House of Fraser (ex Howells) department store. Evidently when the shop wanted to expand sometime after the war, it simply built around the structure standing next to it – which happened to be the Bethany Chapel. There it remains – and if you stand in the shirts section and look up you can clearly see the whole front facade, still intact.”
Thanks Jeremy! Catch you next time…

Cardiff fisherman Rawlins White was burned as a ‘heratic’ outside the former Bethany Church in 1555, for refusing to accept the authority of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. A plaque in the shop marks the spot where the fire was built. There’s more info here http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/wales/posts/rawlins_white_goes_to_the_stake
