Facts and practical information

Capel Newydd, Nanhoron, near Llanengan, Gwynedd, Wales is probably the oldest surviving Nonconformist chapel in North Wales. The chapel dates from 1770-72. Restored in the Victorian era and again in 1956-58, its interior is a remarkably complete survival with an earthen floor and simple box pews. Now in the care of a trust, the chapel is a Grade I listed building. ()
