1851 could have been preacher at Bethlehem "Particular Baptist" Chapel at Maesgwartha or
In 1851, the next most important denomination was Welsh Calvinistic
Methodism, probably introduced by Welshmen from Ceredigion and
Carmarthenshire, from Montgomeryshire and the uplands of Breconshire [who]
brought Welsh Calvinistic Methodism with them (LG. Jones, The Valleys in the Mid-Nineteenth Century, p.23). There were few migrants from the
first two counties on Llanelly Hill, but there had been extensive in-migration from the
Breconshire uplands: Calvinistic Methodism had 13,751 adherents in Breconshire,
which made it the second strongest denomination, just behind the Independents, with
13,886. It was this in-migration that resulted in the building of Carmel chapel on
Llanelly Hill in 1842.
