St. Peter Ad Vincula church in Pennal A medieval church, with some restoration and rebuilding since, this is the only church in Wales with this particular dedication.

It is thought that the site has been a religious one since the 6th century and still has an oval layout. It may also have been a pre-Christian era shrine. It was selected by Owain Glyndwr as his 'Chapel Royal' in 1406 and he quite likely drafted and signed the Pennal Letter inside the church during Lent.

Two chapels in Pennal Two grand and handsome Non-conformist chapels stand close to each other. Such was the importance of this form of belief in Wales that they were possibly both full in their heyday. I wonder what their attendances are like in these times?
