Hanes gweinyddol
The Calvinistic Methodist cause in Newtown was started in 1804-05. The English cause was started after the decision in Wrexham in 1842 to establish English causes in the bilingual border towns from Chester to Newtown. The first English Calvinistic Methodist meeting house in Newtown was in Penygloddfa, where a church was built in 1845 on the corner of Chapel Street and Frankwell Street. Penygloddfa Chapel soon proved to be too small, and a new church, Crescent Chapel, was built in 1878 on the corner of Upper Bridge Street and Milford Road. [The Cadw website mistakenly bundles the two chapels together: "Built in 1845, modified, altered or rebuilt 1879, architect R. Owen of Liverpool"]. The church had 77 members and 64 children in 1853, 107 members in 1861, 173 in 1924, 179 in 1950, and 130 in 1980. According to the Presbyterian Church of Wales website, the chapel is still active in July 2005.
