Sardis Chapel Cemetery

Ystradgynlais

Sardis Independent Chapel Cemetery

The Cemetery is now some distance from Sardis Chapel. It is accessed from Caedegar Road off Heol Giedd, but also easily visible if you walk along the bypass A4067. The original Sardis Chapel was constructed next to the graveyard, but after being demolished in 1859 the trustees of the church built a new and far more imposing structure on Heol Tawe. There are no photographs that I have found of the original Chapel.

The website ystradgynlais-history.co.uk has the history of Sardis and the Cemetery which I photographed in 2018. Unfortunately I have only listed what I could of the data found on the headstone but have not created a file for each person buried.
