Background
History
The history of the church can be traced to the 1870s when prayer meetings and Sunday Schools were held in various chapels locally. Plans to open the first chapel were agreed on 12 November 1880 and the chapel was built over a matter of months and opened on 9 July 1881. Thomas was active in public life and spent twelve years as a member of the Pontypridd Board of Guardians. The chapel has suffered from subsidence caused by mining subsistence. This was later rectified by the National Coal Board. The chapel remains open.
