but its
Church in Wales entry (which lists it as redundant) has a decent
photo. SN 7327 7152. Old O.S. maps show a
Calvinistic Methodist Chapel at SN 7318 7130. It pre-dates a map
of 1886, and was still in use in the mid-20th century, but has been
replaced by this
house, seen by the Streetview camera in 2021. Its
Coflein entry (which has a photo of it, and which calls it Maesglas
Chapel) dates it to 1874, with demolition "by 2006".
Coflein lists its predecessor as Maesglas
Chapel, which later became the Sunday School, presumably when the
later chapel was built. It survives, and was seen by
Streetview in
2022. Coflein dates it to 1845, replaced in 1874. SN 7324 7144.
Coflein also lists a third Maesglas Chapel,
of 1818, and provides a grid reference of
SN 73190 71390, which, if accurate, makes this
pair of cottages
the converted chapel (2022 Streetview).
