Eric Ravilious, an English landscape painter, came to Capel-y-Ffin in the Black Mountains in early 1938. He stayed with the Saunders family at Chapel Farm. In a letter Ravilious describes how the waterwheel was made by the farmer’s son ‘out of chunks of wood and the bottoms of petrol tins’. Daeth Eric Ravilious, arlunydd tirluniau o Loegr, i Gapel-y-ffin yn y Mynyddoedd Duon ar ddechrau 1938. Arhosodd gyda’r teulu Saunders yn fferm y Capel. Mewn llythyr, disgrifia Ravilious sut y cafodd yr olwyn ddŵr ei gwneud gan fab y ffermwr ‘allan o ddarnau o bren a gwaelodion tuniau petrol’.
