Village hall
The present village hall occupies a building that was originally a chapel. Elements of the architecture, especially the windows, are instantly recognisable. Originally the Ebenezer chapel, dated to 1892 by the stone plaque, the conversion for use as a village hall goes back to 1977.

Cross Keys and chapel
The Cross Keys is one of two pubs in the village, the other is the Penrhyn Arms. The narrow, north-facing frontage is not conducive to photography, so to avoid deep shadow obscuring details a bright, but cloudy day has been chosen. Some disquiet may have arisen from the proximity of the chapel.

Penrhynside Limestone Boulder
Lichens are widespread on the limestone rocks of Penrhynside mountain. This boulder was probably deposited here during the glacial retreat and has resisted being further relocated by generations of small boys.

Penrhyn-side War Memorial
This roadside obelisk commemorates the men of the parish who fell in the Great War - of whom there is quite a long list - and the one individual killed in the Second World War. The memorial was unveiled in 1921. The roll of honour is given here: http://www.roll-of-honour.com/Caernarvonshire/Penrhynside.html

Capel Calfaria
Four chapels are shown in maps of the village, but none are now in use for worship. This one, the Baptists' chapel, has seen the most recent use, apparently. At the time of imaging, a notice was pinned to the door advising disposal of the property by the trustees, dated July 2010. The notice of sale of the chapel site by auction gives an October 2010 date, but it must be supposed that the sale was not a success, although a private bid has been successful since that time.
The stone plaque over the entrance, poorly repaired with cement, reads "WELSH BAPTIST CHAPEL PENRHYNSIDE A.D.1894" while the notice board reads "CALFARIA Addoldy Y Bedyddwyr"
