A named place photographed at this map point in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
Saint Barnabas Church in Gilfach Goch was built in the late 19th or early 20th century by the local Welsh Anglican community; it is dedicated to Saint Barnabas and reflects a modest vernacular church style typical of industrial-era Wales. It served as a spiritual and social centre for the coal-mining population of the Rhondda Valley.
