The original chapel dates from 1790, the present building being erected in 1851.
Rhydygwin Unitarian is less than two miles to the west and Capelygoes a similar distance to the east.
The original chapel was said to be built of "mud and compost, thatched with straw" and came in for much criticism as to its state
when some influential visitors called in.
The
present chapel is a neat meeting house with a gallery on three sides
and a beautiful wooden ceiling, the woodwork being carved
by a local craftsman.
The cemetery is neatly kept.
Several ministers and lay members kept a school at the chapel hall and in a nearby cottage (now demolished).
