been painted since Martin took his photo, Carl says it seemed to be in disrepair, so possibly no longer in use. Can you advise?

Capel
Hananeel (Congregational, 1826, re-built 1879).
© Peter Morgan (2012). Although
previously listed as possibly
the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Howard
Richter has shown that it is in fact the
CiW Sunday School.
It stands at SJ 0345 3715. It has a
Coflein entry.
© Peter Morgan (2012). Howard has also advised of some additional
chapels - Capel Seion (Wesleyan) is located at SJ 0353 3709, and is a
1884 re-build of a chapel originally built in 1804. It has been
converted to residential use. A 2016 Streetview is available
here. An 1888 map
shows a "Methodist Chapel (Calvinistic)" at SJ 0336 3695. This is
possibly Capel Salem noted by Coflein
here.
If this identification is correct, then it was built in 1822, and
re-built in 1880. Streetview shows a building at this site
here, and
here, the latter
showing a pair of old gate piers. This is all rather tentative, so if
you can confirm any of this, please let me know.

The
Coflein entry tells us that it originally dates from 1811, though the
present building is of the re-build of 1862. Alternative sources give a
foundation date of 1801.
Grade II listed (chapel and school). The associated stable of 1811 is also
grade II listed.
