( ... )
Located a short distance from the town centre on New Street, it was established in 1842 and built as we see it today in 1867.
It played a part in Welsh history in 1856, when the founding of a Welsh colony in Patagonia was discussed for the first time by the Literary Society of Caernarfon .
One leading member of the society was local printer Lewis Jones who went on to rally support for the colony and wrote a report on the Chubut area, where the first settlers arrived from Wales in 1865.
The chapel's most impressive feature is its grand classical entrance, designed by architect Richard Owen of Liverpool."
