Disgrifiad

An account of the 'Troad Allan' at Yr Hen Gapel, Llwynrhydowen read by the author's granddaughter, Heini Thomas.

In 1876 the Unitarian chapel at Llwynrhydowen was the scene of a national scandal when the congregation and its minister William Thomas (also known as Gwilym Marles) were evicted by the local landlord, John Lloyd of Alltyrodyn. Lloyd cited their ‘radical’ non Tory, Unitarian ideologies as a breach of their lease.

After the closure, the popular minister addressed an outdoor congregation of about 3000, with his back to the locked and chained chapel.

Due to the national interest prompted by the eviction, a fundraising campaign saw a new chapel created, but after the death of Lloyd his sister had the building returned to the congregation.
