'A branch from Gibea Chapel started in 1882 under the charge of the Rev W D Thomas, Gibea. John Harries, who left Gibea, was faithful to the new building cause at Ebenezer and was the first deacon to be elected. The building now known as the Vestry, cost £600 and foundation stones were laid by Dr Hywel Rees and John Harries. The chapel was officially incorporated in 1896.'

Within the Cemetery I found a couple of war-related graves in 2007 but in 2008 I was interested to note the following headlines: Chapel secures funding to improve Cemetery Access.

The Church acquired land in 1930 for a cemetery although the site is across the road and entered from an access road, therefore I was obliged to leave the car on the main road. The improvements should be in place today so I may need a revisit to update photographs.
