Erwood Chapel


Erwood is a little village along the A470 to Builth Wells beside the River Wye, on a side road that runs up hill out of the village you will find Erwood Chapel. I passed it as I was driving off to visit two churches and two more chapels further on in the hills. On the way back I stopped off for some photos of the chapel.





The path leading down to the chapel





Above a closer shot showing the cemetery and chapel

Right a memorial on the wall and a couple of supports for another memorial





Side vie of the chapel




Going around to the hillside and looking down on the chapel










 I don't think I have come across a chapel yet that was open but at least this one had windows you could see through and here you get a good view of the little organ and the ministers gallery where they preach from
























Going around to the oppositee side window you can see the benches and the balcony where people sit






The cemetery on the downward side of the hill




Looking across the cemetery where you will note the headstones are of an age and are covered in lichen




Above under the Yew tree is a bench which over looks the valley and the village below

Left looking back towards the roadside houses



Opposite the entrance to the chapel is this fenced off area




With a memorial stone to  Lady who was born in Erwood back in 1914




Above  view back along the cemetery over the tombs and headstones.

Right a look at the chapel from over the roadside hedge
I will leave you this with this view of the cemetery and chapel 
Until next time have a pleasant weekend

I was going to say what a tiny chapel, then I saw the interior views, small but not tiny. The cemetery is rather lovely, a nice resting place.

It looks like a pleasant church inside. I do like the cemetery and surroundings.

Hey man this place is groovy, didn't you just love hid'n go seek when hiding places were fun and getting discovered was even funner?
