Confession of Faith of the Calvinistic Methodists or the Presbyterians of Wales.

The Welsh Calvinistic Methodists, however, held their own views and grew in numbers. Thomas Charles of Bala, who joined them in 1784, was a leader of wide influence in religious and educational work. In 1811 they separated from the Established Church and set up a new church, Presbyterian in polity. In 1823 a confession of faith was adopted. Later, theological schools were founded at Bala and at Trevecca. The church was formally guaranteed autonomy in 1933. There is a reference to the Calvinist chapel as far back as 1861 probably in the chapel pictured below, but was founded in 1828

The first Calvinist chapel was held in the chapel pictured above. it is now a house but still holds the looks of a chapel, the part closest to the camera in the picture on the left is the old chapel house. Services were later moved to the chapel below

The Calvinistic Methodists chapel is on the right as you go up the village. it is very close to the site of the old Cross keys public house, The chapel it’s self being just off the land line of the public house, it was sold in 1925 as lease hold with a reversion to free hold in 1995
