St John the Baptist, Callwen
There had been a chapel at Callwen for a long time before the current church was constructed in the nineteenth century. Rebuilt in 1840 and then in 1892-3, Callwen Church benefitted from the influx of workers to the quarry and brickworks at Penwyllt, seeing a large growth in its congregation. It became a vicariate in its own right in 1894, and between then and 1957 had 3 vicars, after which it was joined to the benefice of Abercrave.
