The Jewin Welsh Presbyterian Chapel (Welsh: Eglwys Gymraeg Jewin) is a Presbyterian Church of Wales church in the City of London, England.[1][2]
The current building was opened in 1960[3] on a site adjoining the Golden Lane Estate. It replaced a chapel built in 1878–1879 that was destroyed in World War II during the air raids in September 1940. The congregation had moved there in 1879 from nearby Jewin Crescent, a site now incorporated into the Barbican. The Jewin Crescent chapel had opened in 1822, following a move from Wilderness Row, Clerkenwell. The first services had taken place in c. 1774 in Cock Lane, Smithfield. The current building was designed by Caroe & Partners[4] in a Swedish-inspired form of modern architecture sometimes called the New Humanism.
After a dramatic fall in the congregation, in 2013 the London-based BBC News presenter Huw Edwards, who occasionally substituted as the chapel's organist, agreed to lead a campaign to save the building and the chapel, to keep the traditions of the London Welsh community alive.[5] The First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, chose the campaign as his input to BBC Wales Today for Children in Need 2013.[6]
