Places of Worship: Benaiah Chapel, Talybont-on-Usk
In 1830 a splinter group decided to leave Aber and open an alternative chapel in Talybont. By 1858 the rift was healed and the two rejoined under the same minister – the partnership remains today. No one knows why the chapel was named after Benaiah , a little known biblical figure, reputedly a commander in King David’s army and renowned as a warrior. Remains in use.
