Groes-wen Chapel

Above the window a carved stone scroll is inscribed Y GROES WEN; above the door the date 1742 is carved. This date actually refers to the original building on the site, the New House, the very first chapel to be built by the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists. Ten years later the congregation joined the Independents (Congregationalists). Inside the chapel a plaque by Goscombe John commemorates one of the chapel's ministers, William Edwards, who designed the bridge at Pontypridd.
