This OS cut mark can be found on the wall west side of Chapel Street. It marks a point 18.758m above mean sea level.

The Calvinistic Methodist chapel was rebuilt in 1867-8 in early Gothic style to replace the earlier smaller chapel of 1791 close to the same site. The present building is set on an elevated platform, almost opposite the junction with High Street. This chapel now serves the Welsh Presbyterian community. The church is built of rock-faced black basaltic stone, probably from Penmaenmawr, with sharply contrasting Batholithic limestone dressings, and a slate roof. The main south front has a gabled central section with 3 close-set Gothic 2-light windows, a roundel in the apex, and lean-to narthex-porch, gabled over the central moulded door case, which is angled at the head. The church is grade II-listed (Cadw Building ID: 18662 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-18662-eglwys-mynydd-seion-abergele#.VTqvqmd0x_s British Listed Buildings) as “a distinctive and well-preserved chapel by a notable chapel architect”.

The east side, facing Chapel Street, has three 2-light windows beyond the stair wing, separated by buttresses, and gabled transepts at the north end, having triple tall lancets with quatrefoil heads and a gable oculus. The north end terminates in a polygonal apse with a hipped roof and, almost detached, a vestry set at right angles under a separate roof.

Built in 1869 to the design of Richard Owen of liverpool, who has 250 chapels to his name. This Gothic building is executed in brick and dark 'granite' from Penmaenmawr, which gives it a rather sombre appearance. It is recorded that a collective effort by local farmers was made to transport building materials to the site. The original Calvinist Methodist chapel is nearby, no longer in church use.

The dramatic, Gothic entrance to the Calvinist Methodist chapel is executed in brick and Penmaenmawr 'granite'. The design by Richard Owen of Liverpool incorporates a narthex, transepts, apse and gallery. Not an easy building to photograph due to its elevated position and encroaching trees and burial ground.
