It is famed as the mother chapel of Welsh Unitarianism.

This area was known to resist waves of Methodist evangelism. In 1876, minister Gwilym Marles and his congregation were locked out of the chapel for inciting rebellion. 'The Lockout' lasted three years, fuelling national interest and sympathy towards the congregation and minster.
