Probably Methodism.
shareMost likely Presbyterian, as that is the predominant Christian denomination in Wales.
shareNo, Methodism is the main religion of Wales--as it was of Cornwall. You may be thinking of Scotland, which was dominated by Presbyterianism.
shareMethodists of the day were strictly anti alcohol. (A lot of them were, and still are, anti tobacco as well.) It was a part of the film that I saw as incongruous.
Given that the author of the books was a charlatan and the scriptwriter was an American, I doubt there can be a definitive answer to the question. I treat it like the Simpson's church and think of it as the South Wales Branch of the Reform Presbylutheranism denomination.
