The medieval chapel at Penrhyn in Llandygai, and Cochwillan in Llanllechid were part of the Penrhyn estate, owned by the Douglas Pennant family, outside Bangor. A house may have stood at Cochwillan in the 13th century but the present building is not earlier than 1450, when it was part of the Gruffydd estate.
