Deiniolen is a village in Gwynedd, Wales, at the foot of Elidir Fawr. Deiniolen has views over Caernarfon (7 miles away) and on a clear day, Holyhead Mountain and occasionally the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland, can be seen. The population of the electoral ward was 1,909 as of 2011, including nearby Dinorwig.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ward population 2011 )〕 The slate industry was an important employer in Deiniolen, but since the closure of the quarry in 1969, the economy of the village has been in decline. == Village History == ;Llandinorwig Church:Llandinorwig church was built in 1857. The money to build the church was donated by the Faenol family. An interesting fact about the church is that the windows are all different. ;Ebenezer Chapel:Ebenezer Chapel was built in 1823. The first minister was the Rev. David Griffydd. The Rev John Prichard is the minister now. Two of the most important events in Deiniolen are held in the vestry of Ebenezer Chapel. These are the Deiniolen Eisteddfod and the Canival Queen Crowning Concert; local school children take part in both events. The chapel was the source of the village's original name ''Ebeneser''. ;Cefn-Y-Waun Chapel:Cefn y Waen Capel was built by local quarrymen in 1838. Before the chapel was built the local people held their services either in local farmhouses or in the open air. In 1867 the chapel was worth £2,100 but the chapel also had a debt of £2,100. The first minister was Rev. W. Rowlands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deiniolen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
