This chapel was built in 1891 to the design of architect J.G. Owen. It is evidently still going strong. Rhosllanerchrugog and the adjacent villages had (and still have) an unusually high proportion of Welsh speakers for this part of Wales so with services in other chapels conducted in Welsh no doubt there would have been a need for an English chapel to cater for the English speaking members of the community.
