A Mission Church was located on the west side of Neath Road (A474), on the north side of Briton Ferry. Dedicated to St Thomas, the church was erected in 1881. It is a plain stone building consisting of chancel, nave, south porch and a turret, with spire containing one bell; there are 175 sittings. The church is now a chapel of rest.
