Maesyronnen Chapel

Maesyronnen Chapel is about 1 mile (2 km) north of the village of Glasbury, Powys, Wales (grid reference SO176410).

[4] In 1689 the Act of Toleration granted Nonconformists freedom to worship in their own buildings without certain legal strictures that had formerly applied.

[11] The original farmhouse would have been a substantial building dating from the Elizabethan or Jacobean era.

[12] At some time it was replaced by a much smaller house, a chapel-house, for the minister[13] although the first and also most recent occupants were caretakers.

[14] Further restoration and repair became necessary in the 21st century and Cadw gave a grant of £50,000, following a recommendation from the Historic Buildings Advisory Council for Wales.

[8] The interior is dominated by the pulpit, that stands in the middle of the long wall opposite the entrance.

[8] The chapel is used by the United Reformed Church who hold services there every Sunday morning.
