From the 1901 Kelly's Directory:
GLASCOED is a hamlet, in the parish of Usk, 3¾ miles west from the town of Usk: the chapel of ease here is a small building of stone, consisting of chancel and nave, with 110 sittings, and a burial ground attached: divine service is conducted in the chapel once on Sundays, by the vicar of Usk or his curate: there is also a Baptist chapel. The area is 1,749 acres; rateable value, £1,428; the population in 1891 was 224.

I added this page, since I would like to make the web-site I've been developing glascoed.com, [1] a wiki to get more people involved in editing and sharing information - and really make it a community resource. Still in v early days in working out how to do this (and how feasible it is to transfer large amounts of data across). Any ideas on how this can be achieved are very welcome :)
