Gellimanwydd Chapel, or Christian Temple

The chapel was founded in the eighteenth century and is the oldest of the town's chapels.[1]

The name Christian Temple was adopted in the 1870s by a minister convinced that the Welsh language would die out.

The politician Jim Griffiths and his wife are buried at Gellimanwydd.
