A Grade II listed https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=en&id=15371 at 21 High Street, Criccieth. A Calvinistic Methodist Chapel: registers show that a chapel was in existence as early as 1813, although the Religious Census of 1851 suggests that the chapel building was erected in about 1822 - the Tithe Map of 1839 records a chapel on this site. The Sunday School to the rear was built between 1889 and 1900. The father of Margaret Owen (wife of David Lloyd George), was a deacon at Capel Mawr, and led a secession from the chapel to build a second chapel (Capel Seion) in 1887-8. It became disused in the 1990s and in recent years it was home to Rousells Antiques and Auctions. Around 2018 it was converted into apartments and is now used as an AirB&B.
