Capel Gwastad Chapel This view from the back complements Phillip Halling's shot from the road. The chapel, which was built in 1836, appears to be slate-hung on all sides but as there is a property jammed right up it wasn't possible to get closer. I was informed that the chapel is still used on a monthly basis and for funerals for its presumably ageing congregation in this very rural area, once a heartland of the Welsh Revival. The chapel is distinguished by its association with local boy William 'Penfro' Rowlands composer of the famous hymn tune Blaenwern.
