Church that survived Nazi bombers celebrates 200 years

A landmark chapel in the centre of Swansea that survived a Nazi bomb is preparing to celebrate its 200th anniversary with special services over Easter.

Mount Pleasant chapel is one of the city's most historic buildings and stands on the Kingsway in an area that was largely flattened during the Blitz, when the German Luftwaffe bombed the city in February 1941.

"When you see all the pictures of the Blitz and all the buildings around the chapel gone, it is amazing that the chapel is still standing" said Clare Sullivan, one of the members.

The chapel with Corinthian pillars seats about 800 people.
