Chapels database

This project is fully described on Glamorgan Chapels Database

This  Llanfabon database compiled by Gareth Hicks

Llanbradach is included in this database although shown under Eglwysilan  otherwise

If a chapel is already mentioned on the main parish page then its name will act as a link to that section for any data recorded there - such as extant records and OS Grid references

Some chapels may have more than one entry if it is not possible to correctly identify each from a particular source

(For an explanation of the various non-conformist denominations see Gareth's Help Page )
