The chapel
The Capel-y-Cwm Unitarian Chapel was erected in 1906. Coflein, the online database of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, describes it as being in the "simple round-headed style of the gable entry type". Its gable front is painted stucco. It was the last Unitarian chapel to be built in the South Wales District and was erected to fill a need for a place of worship for the congregation who had previously been meeting in a storeroom above a shop. The chapel is in a rural setting and has a cemetery beside it. The interior of the chapel has a small gallery at the back, and there are two attached halls in which functions can take place and where the Sunday School can meet.
Notable people
Evan James Williams (1903-1945), physicist, was born in the village and is buried there. His house is marked by a plaque erected by the Institute of Physics.
