"The present Chapel was built in 1908 on the site of the first building, a zinc shed, . The recorded founders are listed as Charles Harris, Robert Ruck, David Davies Snr. & David Davies Jnr. The trustees were Benjamin Gale, Mrs Elsie Gale, Mrs Margaret Dandle, Mrs Alice Baker, Mrs Lavina Davies and Mrs Violet Lewis. When the first believers met around 1900 they were known as Bible Christians, till they became Wesleyan Methodists. When Llanharan Methodist Church had to close a few years ago its congregation moved to Brynna and Brynna is now Brynna & Llanharan Methodist Church. " From Brynna and Llanharan Methodist Church site
