Capel Calfaria
Image: © Jonathan Wilkins Taken: 21 Jan 2011
Four chapels are shown in maps of the village, but none are now in use for worship. This one, the Baptists' chapel, has seen the most recent use, apparently. At the time of imaging, a notice was pinned to the door advising disposal of the property by the trustees, dated July 2010. The notice of sale of the chapel site by auction gives an October 2010 date, but it must be supposed that the sale was not a success, although a private bid has been successful since that time. The stone plaque over the entrance, poorly repaired with cement, reads "WELSH BAPTIST CHAPEL PENRHYNSIDE A.D.1894" while the notice board reads "CALFARIA Addoldy Y Bedyddwyr"
