CAPEL-COELBREN, a chapelry, in the upper division of the parish of YSTRADGYNLAIS, hundred of DEVYNOCK, county of BRECKNOCK, SOUTH WALES, 174 miles (S.W. by W.) from Brecknock. The population is returned with the parish. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Brecknock, and diocese of St. David's, endowed with £1000 royal bounty, and in the patronage of the Rector of Ystradgynlais. The chapel, which stands at the distance of between five and six miles north- eastward from the parish church, is supposed to have been anciently a private oratory, and was rebuilt, on the site of the former edifice, in 1799, chiefly at the expense of Mr. Walter Price, of Glynllech, to whom belong five out of the seven tenements of which the hamlet consists. This place is situated in the vale of the Tawe, and between that river and Christie's railway, which passes along the side of Cevn Brjrn mountain.
