Rhug Chapel Rhug Chapel. part of remarkable interior Rhug wall panels Colonel William Salisbury (1580-1660), affectionately known as "Old Blue Stockings", was a colourful character famed for his part as a Royalist in the defence of Denbigh Castle in the English Civil War. Although a warrior in early years, he later became a successful writer of Welsh verse and  noted for his “high church” views. In 1637 he had a private chapel built in collaboration with Bishop William Morgan, who was sympathetic to Salisbury’s views and the first translator of the Bible into Welsh. The resulting private chapel, dedicated to The Holy Trinity, is quite plain and unremarkable to external view. A small construction in stone,  a simple nave/chancel with access through a timber arched door at the west end of the church into an extremely small porch , and a door and porch at the north chancel wall for the use of the minister. Above the west door is a single external bell.
