"At DANYGRAIG is a chapel of ease. St. Joseph's Catholic church, at Greenhill, erected in 1888, is served by Benedictine fathers. The old church, built about 1870, is now used as a parish hall: there is a convent of Ursuline Sisters, who teach in the girls' and infants' schools." [From Kelly's South Wales Directory 1923 (ArchiveCDBooks) - transcribed by Gareth Hicks]
