The church began in the form of a Sunday School held under the supervision of one Henry Eynon in the Long Room of the Bailey Arms.[1] Members of Bethania, Mountain Ash, were instrumental in establishing the chapel, and weekly meetings were initially held in 33 Victoria Street.[1] When this became too small, the first chapel, a zinc structure, was built in 1896 but demolished four years later to make way for a new chapel.[1]
Twentieth centuryedit
The chapel was opened in 1903 with seating for 600. It was built at a cost of £2,947 and the architect was T.W. Miller of Mountain Ash. The debt was cleared by 1923.[1]
L. Bevan was minister until 1915 when he left for Pontnewynydd, Monmouthshire.[2] After three years without a minister, J.H. Evans of Newport, Pembrokeshire, was inducted as minister in 1918.[2]
Later historyedit
The chapel closed in the late twentieth century. Demolition work was filmed in 1995 for a HTV documentary entitled On the Chapel Trail which was presented by Professor Anthony Jones.[1]
