Viewed from the entrance to the school next door. St Matthew's Church is in the Church in Wales parish of Aberdare. Affectionately known as a tin church, this corrugated metal building dates from 1888, erected as a mission church in the expectation that it would be in use for about a decade, when it would be replaced by a new, more substantial building. This late February 2014 view, more than a century and a quarter later, shows that it is still in use.
