It saddens me to see such lack of respect to our history (not to mention the resting places of the deceased). Sadly, noone seems that bothered :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23976874.post-14647884597637647712007-01-16T23:46:00.000+00:002007-01-16T23:46:00.000+00:00Young inspiration of the village!
The babel chape...Young inspiration of the village!<br /><br />The babel chapel, is a monument of Cwmfelinfach and can also be seen to young people within the comminity like myslef as an inspiration, it had past heritage behind it and it would be a shame to lose it. The welsh poet Islwyn is a monument and the grave yard is a place where memories lie and shows how the Islwyn street got its name. Hope it stays within the community even if its for respect. x xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23976874.post-1167256782590627062006-12-27T21:59:00.000+00:002006-12-27T21:59:00.000+00:00Just so that you know ... the debate is still cont...Just so that you know ... the debate is still continuing regarding the chapel.

It has been said locally that a figure of £40,000 is needed to make the building safe for visitors. The key for the chapel is held at the Full Moon Visitors Centre, main entrance fro the Sirhowy Country Park. Viewing is by appointment only and subject to the Park Rangers.<BR/>Would appreciate any information or help in pointing us in the right direction to get this dreadful act stopped.
