Capel Libanus Chapel
The Calvinist Libanus Chapel complex (the name "Libanus" is Welsh for Lebanon) consists, from left to right, of the chapel house, the vestry and the main chapel. The present chapel dates from 1903. Calvinistic Methodism in the area however dates back to 1815 and with the ultra-Calvinist and High Tory, John Elias as its minister ( his wife, Elizabeth Broadhead from Cemlyn, also kept a shop on the square at Llanfechell) the village soon became a hot bed of Calvinism and teetotalism. Following Elizabeth's death and his remarriage to the Dowager Lady Bulkeley in 1839, John Elias moved from the village to live at Llangefni.

Facing the "old enemy". The Calvinist Libanus from St Mechell's churchyard
The Calvinistic Methodists, a breakaway movement from the Anglican church, regarded themselves as spiritually and morally superior to the Anglicans. God. while he may or may not be Welsh, was certainly a Calvinist. In 1873, the Rev Morris Williams, better known by his bardic name, Nicander, the vicar of neighbouring Llanrhuddlad Image, in welcoming the Rev Grey-Edwards as the new incumbent of Llanfachreth Image wrote "Dissent is better organised here..but what we have to contend against is not hostile violence as much as apathy. The Dissenters here do not hate the Church as much as they ignore it.."
Such attitudes were still prevalent as late as the 1950s.

The winding road separating Capel Libanus and Eglwys Mechell Sant
Here the two old rivals, the once established church and its erstwhile fierce opponent, the Calvinistic chapel face each other across the main village street. Up to the disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Wales and its reconstitution as The Church in Wales in 1920 Nonconformists and Anglicans were often bitter enemies.
