The perfect place to spend eternity. 16.02.16

A more or less abandoned chapel between Llanvihangel Crucorney and Cross Ash.
There are many such places in Wales. Congregations would split up, because of disagreements with the resident preacher, perhaps, or because part of the congregation wanted to worship God in their own way, and people would leave and use money they could barely afford to build their own place of worship. Much later, people would move away, or their children would stop going to church, and the congregation would die out. There was one such chapel not far from my school. They used it to store spare desks!     
The shed at the rear probably contains the toilets.
The graveyard still has vacancies.
Looking into the misty interior at pews long not sat in.
