Religion was once a very important part of rural life – children would not play, men would not work on the farms, washing would not be hung out on a Sunday. Families would attend chapel or church once, if not twice, on the Sabbath. Photo above is of St Mary’s Church in Eglwyseg around 1900.
Sadly, many of the rural chapels and churches have closed and those still open have dwindling congregations.
