St Mary's Church, Mold

St Mary's Church is a Grade I listed church building in Mold with a seven-bay nave and clerestory windows, constructed from buff Cefn sandstone. The structure displays buttressed bays, Elizabethan doorways, and a west tower added between 1768 and 1773 by architect Joseph Turner.

Construction began around 1490 under the patronage of Lady Margaret Beaufort, a significant noble supporter of religious buildings. The western tower came later, reflecting how the church grew and changed over several centuries.

The interior spaces hold memorial chapels decorated with stained glass by William Wailes and Clayton and Bell, alongside a marble monument to Robert Davies. These artworks shape how the church feels inside and speak to the community's past through their visual presence.

The church sits at the upper end of High Street and forms part of Mold's town center. It welcomes visitors regularly and serves an active congregation with regular services held throughout the year.

The nave roof was crafted in 1856 by Thomas Edwards, a local artisan, featuring finely carved quatrefoils and decorative camber beams. This handmade work shows the care taken with the building's interior details.
