Holy Trinity Parish Church - Ystrad Mynach.
The church was locked when I visited, so sorry no photos inside the church. and the is no real info that I can find on the internet with any substance.
However I did find a book giving the church date of building as 1857:
Davies, Hywel. A history of Holy Trinity Church, Ystrad Mynach, 1857-1957.: H. & J. Davies, 1996.

To confirm this date, I found several grave stones dating from the late 1800s. Photos of Holy Trinity churchyard: (visit link)
