Capel Pen Rhiw
Capel Pen Rhiw (also called Pen Rhiw Unitarian Chapel, is a Grade II listed building, originally built in 1777, on a hill overlooking Dre-fach Felindre, a village in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is thought to have been converted from a barn. The loft became a gallery with additional seating. Archaeological evidence suggests that it was formerly used as a schoolroom, probably by the Unitarians when it was not in use for services. The cemetery was left behind at the original site in Carmarthenshire, but the ashes of Iorwerth Peate, founder of the museum, and his wife are buried in the grounds of the chapel at St Fagans, along with those of his wife, Nansi, and their son is also commemorated on the memorial stone.
