Grade II listed church on Hanbury Road, on the SE side of Pontypool town centre. It was built as a United Reformed church, with seating for about 550. After a period of dereliction when dwindling congregations led to the closure of the church, a local vicar bought the building and has restored and renovated it. It is now a free evangelical church, open to all faiths to use. The name board near the entrance shows "Mount Pleasant Welsh Revival Centre. Available for conferences, weddings/renewal of vows, child dedications, music events."
