Cyn codi Capel Adulam yn 1850 addolai Bedyddwyr yr ardal mewn annedd-dy o'r enw Ty Draw. Yn ôl y parchedig W. Samlet Williams cynhaliwyd yr eisteddfod cyntaf ym mhlwyf Llansamlet ym mynwent y capel. Roedd côr y capel yn adnabyddus am ei oratorios. Saif y capel ar dir uchel a chyferbyn y safai yr hen felin wynt (neu 'bili wynt' fel y'i gelwid) a ddymchwelyd gan Gyngor Sir Abertawe yn y 1960au er mwyn codi cronfa ddwr ddanddaearol. Yswaeth, nid oedd gan y cyngor y weledigaeth i'w hail-leoli. Before the construction of Adulam Chapel in 1850 local Baptists worshipped at nearby Ty Draw, a large residence. According to the reverend W. Samlet Williams the first ever eisteddfod within the parish of Llamsamlet was held here. The chapel choir was also well known for its oriatorios. The chapel stands on a high ridge and opposite stood the old windmill or 'felin wynt or bili wynt' as it was known locally. Sadly, to make way for an underground reservoir this monument was demolished during the 1960s by Swansea Council who didn't have the foresight to have it relocated.
