Maesyronnen Congregational Chapel, Nonconformist chapel in Glasbury, Wales

The stone building features a central room with plastered walls, segmental plaster vaulted ceiling, and traditional box pews arranged across six bays.

Built in 1640, the chapel originated from Baptist congregations of Llanigon and Hay, receiving official registration at Presteigne in 1696 for dissenter worship.

The interior walls display numerous slate memorials commemorating significant figures of 19th-century Welsh nonconformist movement, including John Reid who died in 1832.

The chapel maintains regular Sunday morning services through the United Reformed Church and provides wheelchair access with limited parking spaces for visitors.

The structure evolved from a longhouse, where the cattle shed transformed into the chapel while the farmhouse section served as living quarters.
