St Mary's Church

St Mary's Church features limestone rubble walls with red sandstone elements and a slate roof adorned with distinctive red ridge tiles throughout its structure.

The church's first documented mention dates to 1291, with a significant fire in 1532 leading to the north nave's reconstruction in 1746.

The east window contains restored 16th-century stained glass depicting the Crucifixion scene with the Virgin and St John, surrounded by saints.

Located in Flintshire, the church remains open during daylight hours and includes accessible facilities with level access throughout the main areas.

The hammer-beam roof displays complex Gothic elements with carved angels suspended above the nave since 1535, representing Welsh ecclesiastical craftsmanship.
