The history of the chapel and nonconformist witness in the hamlet can be found in the following two booklets, reproduced in this section with kind permission of the authors.
- The first, is the most interesting source I have read on the village to date: A. Glyndwr Williams’ “THE HISTORY OF GLASCOED CHAPEL from its origins to 1970.”
- The second is a brief history of worship at Mount Zion.
In the “Death Records” section you will find:
- Glyn Williams’ Monumental Inscriptions – The earliest transcription I have, started in 1951, by Glyn Williams, the author of the History of Glascoed chapel.
- David Woolven’s Monumental Inscriptions – A long-standing transcription from one of Monmouthshire’s pioneers of monumental inscriptions. Many thanks for all the hard work put in over the years!
- Susan Wright’s 2005 Monumental Inscriptions which fills in some gaps in the other inscriptions – particularly those of later Inscriptions.
In the “Church records” section you will find my transcriptions of the Minute Books of the chapel, with details of baptisms, celebrations, fallings out amongst members, excommunications and the growth and development of faith amongst the residents and Ministers.
There are also several stories of Tea parties, and many other fascinating stories and tidbits in the Newspapers section.
