English: Capel Cildwrn Chapel. This was one of the first Congregational chapels to be built in Anglesey. Its most famous minister was the fiery, one-eyed, Christmas Evans who during his pastorate (1791-1826) conducted mass-attended outdoor preaching meetings throughout the island. He became known as the 'Bishop of Anglesey', while a rival evangelist, the ultra-Calvinistic fire and brimstone preacher, John Elias, also of Llangefni, was dubbed by his opponents, less kindly, as the "Pope of Anglesey"
After the opening of Penuel, the Christmas Evans Memorial Chapel, in the centre of the town in 1897, Cildwrn was left disused for almost a century. In recent years it has been taken over by a Welsh Evangelical Church.
