Mynydd Seion (Welsh Presbyterian) Chapel, Abergele

The Calvinistic Methodists reached the parish just before 1778 and by 1791 a large chapel had been built. This building has been altered in living memory and is still used as a large general purpose hall. The present chapel was built on the adjacent site in 1869 at a cost of £4,000 though materials had been transported free to the site by twenty-eight local farmers. Mynydd Seion is a Gothic design built with a narthex, transepts and an apse, with a gallery at the rear. The stone used is the lifeless, dark grey, Penmaenmawr granite instead of the cheerful local limestone. A small schoolroom was built in 1887, also probably designed by Richard Owen, in a new up-to-date style.
