Are you looking to create your own dream home from a former chapel like Keith Brymer Jones and his wife Marj Hogarth?
The Channel 4 show Our Welsh Chapel Dream has proved popular among viewers.
The four-part series follows Great Pottery Throwdown judge Brymer Jones and actress wife Hogarth as they "throw themselves into the restoration of a derelict Welsh chapel" in the hope of converting it into their "forever home complete with a working pottery studio".
The chapel on the show is Capel Salem located in Pwllheli on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales.
If watching the show has given you the sudden urge to go out and find a former chapel to convert into your dream home, here are some options.
