Local Meifod residents John Griffiths (of Keel (Cil)) and Edward Ellis (of Ceunant-bach which later became known as Main) were received into fellowship in 1800 at a service in Llidiartfechan. At the time, services were held in a cottage owned by William Hughes on the brow of Broniarth Hill near Pantmawr.

The men then allowed their houses in Meifod to be used for services until 1804. For fifteen years services continued at the Keel until a chapel was built on his property. John died on July 9, 1843 and was buried on the property which then became known as the Churchyard. The church closed at least by 1950.

To find it, look for the red post box next to a house going down a steep hill. Past the house will be a white rusty gate. The cemetery is on that hill. Please be advised the hill is extremely steep.
