Me and Hubby stopped by here Wednesday morning. It is easily located off the main A470 Llanrwst Road in L/Glan Conwy. Church Street is the minor road which goes up inbetween the children's park and the Wok-U-Like Chinese Takeaway i.e. opposite the site of the demolished Estuary Pub. It is signposted in the direction of Betws-yn-Rhos. We managed to park for free on the roadside inbetween the church hall and primary school.
We were pleased to find the church doors open (there was a nice gentleman sweeping up inside). The current building (Grade 2 listed) was constructed between 1839 and 1841 (designed by architect John Welch) but the parish site was founded in the 5th Century.
I liked the interior, particularly the colourful stained glass windows, the 17th century baptismal font, the light oak pews and the open wooden roof. Before we left, we lit a candle and made a small donation. We also had a wander around the graveyard and saw a sun dial with an inscribed date of 1736 (see photos).
An interesting fact about this particular church is that in 1594 (425 years ago), a formal hearing/investigation was held at the church into allegations of witchcraft. The accused was Gwen Ferch Ellis who lived locally. She was a weaver and herbal healer of people (both rich and poor). Despite protesting her innocence, she was found guilty of being a witch and subsequently hanged in Denbigh Town Square at the age of 42. She was the first woman in Wales to be hanged for witchcraft.
