Thank you for your very informative message about the original St Ann's Church.
I have some evidence that it was built in about 1812 St Ann's Centenary Souvenir; Gwynedd Family History  Soc. Memorial Inscriptions No M396. The 1st incumbent was Morris Hughes (1812-1860). However, I have the same doubts as you when you consider that it was named after the wife of Richard Pennant, Anne Susannah Warburton (1745-1814) and Richard had died in 1808 so it's a bit late to build it in 1812 when George Hay Dawkins had inherited the estate by then. Do you have concrete evidence? I also think the vicarage was the large house called Bryn Llys - just below Lon Goch and it was inhabited in the 1881 census by David Pritchard - a quarry agent, with his wife, family and 3 servants.

Diolch.

I am not sure if you are still looking into this? if not I am sorry for reviving and old thread.

The vicarage of St Ann's Church was not the house called Bryn Llys. The Vicarage was actually called a parsonage and was also buried under the slate quarry spoils.
On the tithe map it is number 13 with St Ann's Church and Yard being number 9.
The occupier of the Parsonage is Reverend Morris Hughes,who as you know was the first incumbent at St Ann's.
