History and amenities
editThere is a Methodist chapel nearby, built in 1822, in a Gothic vernacular style. It was modified in 1902.[3] The minister is Rev Ruth Lownsbrough and Sunday services are at 3.00 pm or 4:00 pm. The chapel is also available for community use.[4]
The local pub and restaurant is the Hall Inn.[5][6] There is also a village hall available for hire.[7]
In May 2020 a man died, another was seriously injured, and a woman sustained leg injuries after an attack by a water buffalo kept at a farm near Gwehelog. The animal was later destroyed.[8]
