Abergele: Site of first Latter Day Saints chapel in North Wales

Disgrifiad

Abergele was one of the early Latter Day Saint or 'Mormon' congregations in North Wales in the mid 1800s. It was certainly the first such congregation to build a meeting house - in 1849 - helped by the presence of two stone-masons who were new adherents to the faith, John Parry and Elias Morris. The congregation soon disappeared, as the majority emigrated, and the building was sold on, but a plaque installed in 1990 commemorates the early Welsh members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the area.
