CYD-DESTUN
Hanes bywgraffyddol/gweinyddol: Ivor English Congregational Church, Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, was formed in 1859. 'A sketch of the Early History' is contained in the first minutes book, and in Ivor English Congregational Church, Dowlais 1960 (Aberdare, 1960). A group was formed in the winter of 1859-1860 to provide for English Independents in Dowlais and Merthyr Tydfil. A special fund was set up, and three cottages were purchased from the Dowlais Iron Co., in Ivor Street, with ground lease for 99 years. Contributions from the local Welsh Independent churches and individuals in Merthyr enabled the establishment of a building committee. The building stone was laid on 22 May 1860, the chapel opened in March 1861. Fortunes increased for a short period but congregations fell away sharply in 1938 and generally declined thereafter despite improvements to church accommodation. The church became part of the United Reformed Church in 1972. The chapel closed in 1997.
