The Calvinist Libanus Chapel complex (the name "Libanus" is Welsh for Lebanon) consists, from left to right, of the chapel house, the vestry and the main chapel. The present chapel dates from 1903. Calvinistic Methodism in the area however dates back to 1815 and with the ultra-Calvinist and High Tory, John Elias as its minister ( his wife, Elizabeth Broadhead from Cemlyn, also kept a shop on the square at Llanfechell) the village soon became a hot bed of Calvinism and teetotalism. Following Elizabeth's death and his remarriage to the Dowager Lady Bulkeley in 1839, John Elias moved from the village to live at Llangefni. http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-ELIA-JOH-1774.html
