St Tudwal's Church

St Tudwal's Church is a stone Catholic church located on King Edward Road in Barmouth, Gwynedd. The building displays early 20th-century functional architecture with straightforward lines and large windows typical of worship spaces built during that period.

The foundation stone was laid in 1904 by Francis Mostyn, the first Bishop of Menevia, establishing a permanent place for Catholic worship. This church replaced earlier worship spaces where the community had gathered since the 1890s.

The church is named after a Welsh saint and continues to serve as a gathering place for the local Catholic community. Visitors can observe how this location anchors religious practice and spiritual life for people in the area.

The church is easily accessible by car and sits on a main road in central Barmouth, close to the seafront. Visitors should check ahead for current service times and opening hours, as schedules may vary throughout the year.

The parish shares religious services with St David in Seion Church in Harlech, creating a connected network of Catholic worship spaces across the region. This partnership shows how small Catholic communities in Wales work together to serve their faithful.
