St Dunawd's Church

St Dunawd's Church is a listed building in Bangor-on-Dee featuring a brick and stone tower with rounded bell openings and decorative finials at its corners. The building shows construction from different periods and serves as an active Anglican church.

The location once held a monastery founded around 560, which faced destruction in its early centuries. The present church was built on this site and developed through various periods of reconstruction and alteration.

The interior displays carved wooden furnishings from the 1800s, including detailed choir stalls, decorative rails, and an ornate pulpit that were gradually added over time. These works form part of the space visitors experience when entering the church.

The church functions as an active place of worship and is generally accessible to visitors who respect its religious purpose. Plan visits during times when services are not being held to explore the building and its interior at your own pace.

The building contains a five-light window from the 14th century and a brass reading stand commemorating three brothers. These objects tell stories from different times and have survived through generations.
