Capel Pendref in Denbigh was the first Welsh language Wesleyan chapel in North Wales. It originally dates from 1802 and was enlarged in 1862. The present chapel, dated 1882, is built in the Classical style with a gable-entry plan, and with a schoolhouse added in 1908. It is believed that the orphaned John Rowlands, who is better remembered as Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904), attended Capel Pendref with his uncle.

The 2026 Denbigh Open Doors Weekend launches on Friday 18 September with a self-drive Tour of the Vale, followed by an evening lecture at Theatr Twm o'r Nant, “Restoring and repositioning Brookhouse Mill for the future”. Over the following two days, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September, thirty historically important sites in the locale will be open to the public. This will be supplemented by children’s workshops, guided tours and an interactive show. A booking service for events with limited places will be available through Denbigh Library, closer to the weekend. Further information will be available at -
