Ystrad Congregational Church was founded in Ton Pentre in 1870 to cater for incoming English settlers working in the local coal pits, at a time when the population of the Rhondda valleys was growing rapidly. The church was rebuilt in its present form in 1884 and has remained virtually unaltered since that time, incorporating an interior with three-sided gallery and a basement that housed a Sunday School. It closed for worship in 2020. An historic building recording of the chapel was carried out in 2024 prior to conversion to flats.
