Ramoth Chapel

[1] The history of Ramoth starts in the early 19th century, when meetings were held in a house owned by George Overton of the Hirwaun Ironworks.

While the new chapel was being built, Benjamin Evans, a student from Pontypool College, was ordained as minister of Ramoth.

In the early 1850s he opened a new colliery at Trecynon and persuaded many Hirwaun colliers who were members at Ramoth to move with him.

Joseph was the pivotal figure in the formation of the new church at Heolyfelin, and for a time the membership at Ramoth declined considerably and the cause struggled to remain in existence.

[5] The following ministered at Ramoth in the late nineteenth century: Benjamin Watkins (1857–58), D. Davies (1863–69), E. Colwyn Evans (1872–91) and David Collier (1892-97).

[1] Ramoth Christian Centre celebrated 150 years at its present location in 2018, and the current building is in its third incarnation.
