Horeb Chapel, Llwydcoed

Prayer meetings had been held in the Llwydcoed district for many years by members of Ebenezer, Trecynon. Eventually they built a schoolroom which was also used as a British School. They built the chapel at a cost of £800 and it could set 350 people. Matthews was succeeded from 1865 until 1871 by Rev W. Thomas who was also minister of Elim, Cwmdare. He remained as minister for 52 years from 1871 until 1923 and there is a white marble plate in his memory at the church. ==Twentieth Century==

There were 214 members in 1930. D.J. Barlow, also a county councillor, was minister from 1936 until 1951. The chapel remained active into the twenty first century, with a small gathering of members continuing to meet at the vestry. ==References==
