Rev J Davies, later in a disused Baptist Chapel, Adpar, before being relocated here 1867. The building may be earlier C19 and reused, as the style suggests circa 1820-40, but there is no clear documentation. In 1867 T T Elias, landlord of the Plough Inn and lessee of the market, was proprietor and headmaster.
