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 open the doors to their new home. But they aren't the only ones who want to nest there. The local pigeons have moved in too!
Keith and Marj start ripping out rot at the chapel and pitch their plan to transform it into a home, pottery studio and events space to the local community.
With planning permission granted, Keith and Marj get to work removing the pews, parquet floor and large pulpit in the main hall, and make a discovery in the Sunday school ceiling vents.
With the chapel currently unliveable, Keith and Marj work on their first on-site bedroom: a shipping container in the car park!
Keith and Marj start renovations on the downstairs Sunday School so it can become their living space, complete with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a snug. But before they can begin they have to rip out the fungus and try to control the dry rot that's infected the chapel.
Keith and Marj set their sights on turning the old school room into their snug. Marj restores a baroque French chair, while fellow Pottery Throw Down judge Rich Miller helps Keith to make brutalist tiles for a feature wall. The couple take a break from forging the chapel's future to visit the National Library of Wales to discover Capel Salem's fiery past.
Taking inspiration from Coventry Cathedral, Keith and Marj create a Victorian-style parlour bathroom, complete with a giant candlestick holder and Marj's dream lampshade.
To finally call their chapel home, Keith and Marj need a bedroom! Marj gilds a vintage mirror and Keith takes on storage solutions, before they enjoy a Welsh love spoon workshop.
