On the opening page, click on the 'Coflein text search' button. On the next page, select 'Chapel' from the 'Type of site' drop-down menu, and select the relevant county and/or community. The chapel entries usually indicate the status of the chapel at the time it was last visited - whether or not still in use as a chapel. As an example, entering Glasbury as the community pulls up the following list: - Glasbury Congregational Chapel, The Green, Glasbury - Glasbury Wesleyan Methodist Church, Cwmbach Chapel, Boughrood Road, Cwmbach - Llanwhimp Primitive Methodist Chapel, Ebenezer, Llanywhimp - Maesyronen Congregational Chapel, Ffynnon Gynnydd Road, Maesyronen - New Zion Primitive Methodist Chapel (Moity Chapel), Moity Road, Moity Each of the entries has a link to further details of the individual chapel, including: Grid references, Site descriptions (sometimes including historical and/or architectural details), and Status (when last visited). Note that the index can be rather quirky: for example it did not find the entry for Treble Hill Baptist Chapel under the Glasbury search, although it is included in the Coflein database.

Dear John, > > John wrote > > Have you tried the Coflein database at http://www.coflein.gov.uk/ > This is sponsored by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical > Monuments of Wales. Thanks John. I have tried te website but although I know some of them are there I still need to know whether they have services and what times. I would also like to find out if any of them are charismatic chapels so that I may avoid them. Thanks for your help, Sue in Suffolk
