Welsh Church

A WELSH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

SERVING THE DOCKLANDS

According to most accounts this was Methodist rather than Presbyterian (see below).

Talbot Street is a city-centre street located on Dublin’s Northside, near to Dublin Connolly railway station. It was laid out in the 1840s and a number of 19th-century buildings still survive.

The street was named in 1821 after Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 2nd Earl Talbot, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, from 1817 to 1821. It was previously called Cope Street North and Moland Street. The Moland family owned large areas of land in the area with the Deverell family, with Deverall Place and Moland Place remaining as extant place names.

The Welsh Presbyterian Church on Talbot Street in Dublin was a Calvinistic Methodist chapel that served the Welsh community in Dublin from 1838 to 1944. It was located at 78 Talbot Street, on the corner of Moland Place. The chapel was designed by the architect William Murray and was built in 1838. It was a two-storey brick building with a capacity of 300 people.

The chapel was originally intended for Welsh sailors who were visiting Dublin. However, it also became a popular place of worship for Welsh people who lived in Dublin. The services were conducted in Welsh, and the chapel was a centre of Welsh culture in Dublin.

The chapel closed in 1944 due to a decline in the Welsh population of Dublin. The building was sold and later converted into an internet cafe. In 2005, the building was granted protected status by Dublin City Council.

There is a plaque on the building that commemorates the Welsh Presbyterian Church. The plaque reads: "This building was the Welsh Presbyterian Church, founded in 1838. It served the Welsh community in Dublin for over a century. The chapel closed in 1944 and the building was later converted into an internet cafe. In 2005, the building was granted protected status by Dublin City Council."
