Biographical/Historical note
In 1932 the Methodist Church was united to include the former Wesleyan, United and Primitive Methodist churches. The Pontypool Circuit of the Methodist Church was formed in 1968 by the amalgamation of the Pontypool Eastern Valley Circuit and the Pontypool Park Terrace Circuit.
The Pontypool Eastern Valley Circuit was itself the product of the amalgamation of (a) the Pontypool High Street Circuit, which before Methodist Union in 1932 was the Pontypool Wesleyan Circuit (b) the Garndiffaith Circuit, which before Union was the Blaenavon Circuit in the United Methodist Church, being originally associated with the Bible Christian Church (c) the Blaenavon Circuit, which was previously a Primitive Methodist Circuit.
The Pontypool Park Terrace Circuit was the successor of the Pontypool Primitive Methodist Circuit.
