From the Wikipedia article

Siloa Chapel was the largest of the Welsh Independent, or Congregationalist, chapels in Aberdare. It operated from 1844 to 2020. Services were held in the Welsh language. Established in 1844, Siloa was one of the few Welsh-language chapels in the locality to remain open in the 21st century. Siloa was notable for its long-serving ministers and in over a century there were only three pastorates, namely those of David Price (1843–1878), D. Silyn Evans (1880–1930) and R. Ifor Parry (1933–1964).
