Pamphlet commemorating the opening of the Capel Celyn Memorial. Built from the stone of the original Eglwys Celyn, it was part funded by the Liverpool Corporation to commemorate the church, its graveyard and the village of Capel Celyn. Many of the former inhabitants are still buried under the water, but other bodies were exhumed and moved to Llanycil and Trawsfynydd at the request of their families.

Capel Celyn, a Welsh-speaking community in the Tryweryn valley, was drowned to provide a new water supply for Liverpool. There were protests throughout Wales. Most Welsh MPs opposed the bill to build the reservoir, yet it was passed by the Conservative government of the day. The villagers were forced to move, abandoning their homes, chapel, school and farmland. Liverpool City Council apologised in 2005. Tryweryn has become iconic. It is a symbol to some people of how powerless Wales is.
