Wikipedia records that Craswall (historically also spelt Craswell, Crasswall and Crosswold) is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England. It lies in the far west of the county, in the foothills of the Black Mountains, close to the border with Wales.

Littlebury’s Directory and gazetteer of Herefordshire, 1876-7 confirms that the Primitive Methodists had two chapels at Craswall. Presumably the chapel in the greater degree of ruin is the one no longer marked as a place of worship on modern OS Maps.
