1865 There was a proposal on 19 December that the company should be voluntarily wound up and that John Williams should be the liquidator. According to Ivor Jones,1   the Turkish bath closed within four years, becoming a Roman Catholic place of worship, so Williams, as liquidator, must have closed the baths some time during 1867.

Was the Roman Catholic Church paying rent to the company? Or did the company sell the premises to the church?
