Built in 1823, its first minister was the Rev.Jeremiah Gilbert. Seth Evans wrote: "The old chapel was plain to the last degree; no porch, no vestibule, no pews, but loose forms with no backs; no stove or heating apparatus; no boarded floor, nor even flagged, but the ground covered with what was called 'small feith' or spar from the lead mines, which sparkled and glistened with little particles of lead ore; this was renewed every year."
