Capel y Rug is a post-medieval nonconformist chapel located in Meirionnydd, Wales. The chapel dates from the 18th century and represents the architectural tradition of Independent and dissenting religious worship that flourished in Wales during this period. Built in a modest vernacular style typical of rural Welsh chapels, it served the local community as a place of worship and remains an important example of the physical infrastructure of Welsh nonconformity. The building reflects the religious and social changes of post-medieval Wales, when chapel-building became a significant feature of the Welsh landscape as alternatives to the established Anglican church.
