Notes:
1. The Calvinistic Methodists of Llanfihangel Rhydithon erected their chapel in 1854 on the site of a tan house. Austere, functional and cuboid, it echoes the biblical text carved above its door: Reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord. [Extracted from p. 74 of Marching to Zion - Radnorshire Chapels, by J. B. Sinclair and R. W. D. Fenn, published 1990 by Cadoc Books, Kington; ISBN 0-9516865-0]
2. Chapel built 1854. Built in the Simple Gothic and Vernacular style, short-wall entry type. [Extracted from Coflein database, on-line at: http://www.coflein.gov.uk/]
3. Alongside the chapel is a small burial yard containing graves dating back to the 1850s.
