It was chosen as to be most convenient to the inhabitants of Swyddfynnon and Pontrhydfendigaid. In 1742 the preaching was moved to the neighbouring farm of TANYRALLT, which could accommodate the listeners, and it was here the first "Society" was formed. Williams Williams, Pantycelyn was the overseer and used to visit every 6 weeks. In 1744 there were about 20 members. There was never a Chapel or Meeting House, at TANRALLT. The services were held under two large oak trees, it is said. In 1758 the Society moved their services to PENLAN, Tregaron and numbers increased until BWLCHGWYNT Chapel was built in 1774/5. The first Chapels built by the Calvinistic Methodists were: TWRGWYN 1750 LLANGEITHO 1760 LLANON 1769 TREGARON 1775 LAMPETER 1775 Best wishes, ACHWR ======================================== Message Received: Aug 20 2013, 11:22 AM From: "ANNE EVANS" <anneyvonne.evans@btinternet.com> To: "dyfed-L@rootsweb.com" <dyfed-L@rootsweb.com> Cc: Subject: [Dyfed] Tan yr Allt Meeting House Tregaron Dear List, I have tried unsuccessfully to find details of Tan yr allt Meeting House Tregaron i.e. on Genuki.

I should be surprised if any records remain.
