Bangor, Gwynedd All photos © Martin Briscoe. Many thanks to Nicholas Page for identifying several of these churches, and advising of their previous status. Nicholas' contributions in italics. Assemblies of God (Pentecostal), was the English Presbyterian Church until the mid 1980's. Baptist Church at Penrallt was previously the Twrgwyn Calvinistic Methodist Church. Calvinistic Methodist Chapel (Martin is unsure of Its current status, but it is marked as such on a map of 1913). Nicholas tentatively identifies this as the Hirael Calvinist Chapel. If so, it was intended to be converted to community use. Capel Pendref, Eglwys Annibynnol. Cathedral Church of St. Deiniol. Another view. Ein Harglwyddes a Sant Iago (Our Lady and St. James ). (R.C.). Santes Fair (St. Mary). Unknown church - the former Tabernacl, closed in the late 1960's. Black Bull Inn. The site is marked on the 1913 map as a chapel, and is the former Church of Our Lady (R.C.). It was sold when Our Lady and St. James became the Catholic church in Bangor, in the late 1980's.
