Timsbury was within the scope of the preacher John Wesley and he came here on more than one occasion to address the miners. Thanks to the begging and bartering efforts of local men John Evans and John Barnes, land and materials were purchased and a chapel built here in 1805, thus becoming the first in the village. It later became known for prominence in music and Sunday schooling. It is a single storey building, but the tall interior allows for a gallery.
