- Pitton Methodist chapel on the Gower Methodists site - a brief note from the site
"The event being celebrated today [1987] .............. is the one hundredth anniversary of the opening of the present chapel building in 1887 ......... the history of the Methodist cause in this parish of Rhossili is far older. It extends back into the age of the great itinerant revivalists of the eighteenth century ......... Its roots lie in an even-earlier Puritan tradition of Protestant Dissent first introduced into Gower in the 1650s"
