Description

Tabor Independent Chapel was built c.1875 in the Sub-Classical style with a gable-entry plan. Tabor stood disused by 2000.

RCAHMW, December 2009

 

Tabor chapel was likely to have been under construction in 1872, built on land under lease from Ty Isa farm. It appears to have been opened in 1874. Tabor chapel remained in use, relatively unchanged, until 2019, when the cause came to an end. The building was sold and purchased by neighbouring Ty Isa farm.

One figure of particular interest to Maengwynedd is the Reverend William Henry Cassam (1879-1961). A single memorial plaque to the Reverend William Henry Cassam is fixed to the wall behind and to the right of the pulpit. In 1969, his ashes were interred to the northern side of Tabor chapel, indicating a particular attachment to Tabor and the Maengwynedd area. His was the only recorded interment at Tabor, which has no burial ground.
