Have you ever wondered about your British ancestors’ religion? This video covers the basics of religious nonconformity (Baptist, Methodist, Independent/Congregationalist denominations). Nonconformity played an important role in Welsh history and the lives of our ancestors. While this video focusses on Wales in the 1800s and earlier, these Christian denominations, as well as many other forms of religious worship beyond Christianity, continue to play an important part of everyday life. Please forgive the generalising/simplistic video title, it's for the algorithm.
