Our Welsh Chapel Dream — Season 1

Keith Brymer Jones and his partner Marj throw themselves into the restoration of a derelict chapel in Wales. As they explore their new home, it seems they're not alone...

Keith and Marj submit their application to transform the chapel into a home, pottery studio and events space. While they anxiously wait for the news, they turn their attentions to ripping out rot, learning some Welsh and opening the chapel to pitch their audacious plan to the local community.

Now that permission has been granted, Keith and Marj start work in the main chapel hall, removing the pews, parquet floor and large pulpit. Keith visits a fellow potter, and Marj makes a discovery in the once-pigeon-infested Sunday school ceiling vents.

With the chapel being unliveable for many more months, Keith and Marj have come up with a radical idea to sleep onsite a lot sooner, in the shape of a shipping container in their car park, which they hope to transform into their first official finished bedroom.
