Are you talking about Twrgwyn Calvinistic Methodist Chapel? It's located in Troedyraur Parish, CGN. My great-grandparents are buried there. I've been there a couple of times. Beautiful old chapel.

So it's the farm to which she was referring, not the chapel. The nearest chapel, Capel Twrgwyn, is 250 metres south of the farm on the south side of the road (the farm is on the north side of the road). Both the farm and the chapel are in Troedyraur parish.
