Grade II* listed. For other listed
features associated with the church, see
here. The former Tabernacle Presbyterian Church
on Croft-y-Genau Road. The
date-stone (2023
Streetview) reads "1837 Tabernacle Presbyterian 1900", presumably
referring to the first chapel, and a re-build. ST 1196 7746.

Museum, has two churches, both removed from their original location. The first is the
Pen-Rhiw Unitarian Church (1777) which is from Dre-fach Felindre, Carmarthenshire, and opened at the
museum in 1958. Interior view. The other is St. Teilo,
removed from Llandeilo Tal-y-bont near Pontarddulais, Swansea. Another view, and two interiors -

The former Trinity Calvinistic
Methodist Church, on Cardiff Road and Tabor Street. Its brief
Coflein entry dates
it to the late 19th century, but a map revised in 1898 doesn't show it.

Old O.S. maps show it had a neighbour just a few yards away on Tabor
Street, at ST 1214 8356. Available maps don't give its
denomination, but Coflein
calls it Tabor Calvinistic Methodist Chapel,
dating it to a re-build in 1864 of an earlier chapel of 1843. It also
implies that it survived as late as 1990, but
housing (Streetview)
had been built on the site by 2009.
Glan-y-Llyn Gospel Hall,
off Cardiff Road.
Google Maps say it's "permanently closed". ST 1198 8416.
