"Horeb Baptist Chapel is in the parish of Llywel, in the township of Traian Mawr. It can be seen from the main road between Trecastle and Llandovery, but only just, as it is almost completely overgrown except for the side in the photo. It is a sad sight, completely abandoned, except that some of the graves are clearly still tended. The MIs have been transcribed and are in Powys Archives - SoG has a copy". I hope the photos help the research of those on the Lists. I will shortly be updating the site with more images of Welsh chapels and churches. I will let you know when this happens.
