Nebo, Hirwaun
Nebo, Hirwaun was an Independent (Congregationalist) chapel in Merthyr Road, Hirwaun, Aberdare, Wales. Early history Nebo was established in the early 19th century, when the Hirwaun ironworks were in operation At that time a number of members of the Independents, the Calvinistic Methodists and the Baptists lived in the village of Hirwaun. For communion they went to Aberdare, but they came together for prayer meetings at houses in Hirwaun. The Independents were generally members of Ebenezer, Trecynon. In 1823, a small chapel was built which was called Nebo, or Pennebo. This was used until 1830, when, following a revival which drew many additional members and listeners, a larger chapel was required. This was used for several years without formal seating or adornments. Eventually, in 1836, this was rectified. The minister from 1823 until 1835 was Joseph Harrison of Ebenezer, Trecynon, but when his ministry at Ebenezer came to an end so did his connection with Nebo. In early 1836, J ...

Chapels In Rhondda Cynon Taf
A chapel is a Christian place of prayer and worship that is usually relatively small. The term has several meanings. Firstly, smaller spaces inside a church that have their own altar are often called chapels; the Lady chapel is a common type of these. Secondly, a chapel is a place of worship, sometimes non-denominational, that is part of a building or complex with some other main purpose, such as a school, college, hospital, palace or large aristocratic house, castle, barracks, prison, funeral home, cemetery, airport, or a military or commercial ship. Thirdly, chapels are small places of worship, built as satellite sites by a church or monastery, for example in remote areas; these are often called a chapel of ease. A feature of all these types is that often no clergy were permanently resident or specifically attached to the chapel. Finally, for historical reasons, ''chapel'' is also often the term used by independent or nonconformist denominations for their places of worshi ...
