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.

Meadow in the Syfni valley, Clarbeston Syfni is the local pronunciation of the river name, and is the spelling in some, but not all, OS maps. More literary variants are Syfynwy, Syfynfi, Syfnau. The name is derived from the same Celtic name (Sumina) as the Somme in France. The river for some distance marks the traditional Landsker or language boundary, English on this side and Welsh on the other. It also marked the boundary in the Hundred of Dungleddy between the Marcher barons' land to the south and west and the bishop's lands to the north and east.
