Cofnodion amrywiol yn ymwneud á'r capel Methodistaidd ym Mangor, Gwynedd

Lleolwyd Capel Twrgwyn ar Ffordd Caergybi ym Mangor, Gwynedd. Am ragor o fanylion am flynyddoedd cynnar yr achos gweler "Hanes Methodistiaeth Arfon" Cyfrol VI gan W. Hobley a "Canmlwyddiant y Tabernacl" gan Henry Lewis.

Ymunodd aelodau o Gapel Y Tabernacl gyda chynylleidfa Twrgwyn yn 1968 pan gaewyd y Tabernacl. Yn fwy diweddar, pan agorwyd Capel Berea Newydd ym Mangor symudodd yr aelodau yno gan adael yr adeliad ar Ffordd Caergybi yn wag. Fodd bynnag, fe'i prynwyd yn 2003 gan Gapel y Bedyddwyr, Penrallt.

The Calvinist Methodist Chapel of Twrgwyn was situated on Holyhead Road, Bangor, North Wales. See "Hanes Methodistiaeth Arfon" Cyfrol VI by W. Hobley and "Canmlwyddiant y Tabernacl" by Henry Lewis for details about the early history of the chapel.

A Sunday School was up and running in 1850 in the upper Bangor area, in the workshop of John Parry, builder. However, at a meeting of the Tabernacl church members in Bangor, it was decided that a chapel was needed to house this school and by May 1854, Twrgwyn chapel had been erected, and in the following year a chapel house and school house were also raised. Although Twrgwyn chapel did not initially employ a minister, Rev. John Phillips was the most prominent character behind in the establishment of the chapel. In 1864 it was decided that the chapel should have a gallery, and the plans of Mr Kennedy, architect were accepted in 1865.

The members of the Tabernacl church joined the Twrgwyn congregation in 1968 when the Tabernacl closed. More recently, when Capel Berea Newydd opened in Bangor the members moved and left the building on Holyhead Road empty. However, it was bought in 2003 by Penrallt Baptist Church.
