Church of the Week
Rhosesmor, Flintshire
Rhosesmor St Paul, in Flintshire, was built in in local limestone between 1874-6 by the architect John Hill for the villagers working in the lead mining industry, which dates back to pre-Roman times. St Paul’s runs The Outpost, a shop, in their Grade II Listed building where you can pick up everything from washing up liquid to fresh vegetables to cream crackers. It’s not just about providing a service to local people; it’s about being part of the community. It’s also ran and supported by volunteers. It was these brilliant volunteers and the ethos behind what they do which made St Paul’s our Wales/Cymru Church & Community Volunteer Award winners at 2022’s National Church Awards. So, next time you’re in the area and need to get some coffee or want a chat, make sure to pop in. The church also has information on local village heritage and nearby walks, where you can explore the hillfort – a Site of Special Scientific Interest with stunning views over the Dee Estuary and the Clwydian Range.
