A chapel existed on this site before 1850 but the present building was
erected in 1852 as a Calvinistic Methodist Chapel on the road from Llangors
to Bwlch. The religious census of 1851 records 35 in the congregation while
by 1905 it rose to 142.
The date stone reads: Bethel Arddoldy y Trefnyddion

The chapel became redundant in the 1950s and was sold at auction in
1977 when both the worship space and the adjoining stable were
converted to residential accommodation
The conversion maintained almost all of the original
exterior chapel architecture – although the chapel door was
altered to create a small window. The stable adjoining the
west side was converted to provide a garage with
accommodation above. The interior of the worship space was
altered but incorporated part of the gallery, pulpit and
pews. The pulpit which once occupied a central position on
the main lateral façade is now part of the gallery/landing
area.
The house was sold more recently in 1980
