The original English Chapel (known as Capel Saesneg in Welsh) was built by public subscription on land donated in 1878. This non-conformist Victorian church served the English-speaking congregation every summer for just over a hundred years. Services continued up to the early 1980s, when disrepair made the building dangerous. It thereafter fell into disuse. It was later restored and opened as an art gallery - The Chapel of Art. It is now closed and for sale. See also Image Image Image Image
