• Capel Pontrobert, cofysgrifau (records)    1913-1914          "Adeiladwyd capel Pontrobert, Meifod, plwyf Llangynyw, Sir Drefaldwyn yn 1800, ond fe'i defnyddiwyd fel ysgol am gyfnod pan oedd John Hughes Pontrobert yn dysgu yno. Ordeiniwyd ef yn weinidog gyda'r Methodistiaid yn 1814 a daeth yr adeilad yn gapel eto, gyda John Hughes a'i wraig Ruth yn byw yn y ty. Gelwir y capel hwn yn Hen Gapel John Hughes, ac ailagorwyd y drysau yn 1995 fel 'Canolfan Undod ac adnewyddiad Cristnogol i'r genedl'.
  Adeiladwyd Capel Newydd Pontrobert, a elwir hefyd yn Capel uchaf, yn 1865 ac fe'i sefydlwyd yn yr un flwyddyn. Fe gostiodd dros £500 i'w adeiladu, ac fe gliriwyd y rhan fwyaf o'r ddyled trwy gynnal casgliad cyffredinol trwy Sir Drefaldwyn."
