Calvinistic Methodists are not to be confused with the Wesleyan version of Methodism. Calvinism is a much more dour form of religion and equates to the Presbyterianism of Ulster and Scotland. This chapel is called Capel Ty Rhys. The first chapel on the site was built in 1794. The core of the present chapel dates back to 1822. It was enlarged in 1870 and again in 1908. Outstations were also built at Penmon, Llanfihangel and Llangoed (Ysgoldy y Rhyd). All these have now closed. Ty Rhys remains open.
