Eglwys Crist
Yr Orsedd, Clwyd
Adeiladwyd yr eglwys gyntaf ar y safle hwn yn 1841, ond fe’i difrodwyd yn ddifrifol gan dân. Yn ôl yr hanes, ym mis Mai 1891, cynhaliodd y Ficer ‘briodas yn yr adfeilion’.
Built in 1829-30 to the designs of RD Chantrell in the lancet style on behalf of 'His Majesty’s Commissioners' (a Commissioners Church). St George's was built as a Chapel of Ease to the church of All Saints, Glossop,
The church comprises a large, plainly decorated nave with raised gallery to the north, west and south, supported on clustered cast iron columns. Clusters would appear to be later additions around an octagonal core if the Vicar’s Vestry column is indicative. There is a plastered ceiling with slightly cranked moulded cross beams on short shafts on moulded corbels. The unusual galleries are accessed by stone staircases to the West end from the central entrance below the tower.
Pine pews throughout (installed in 1897), along with many other changes of that year. The chancel is separated from the nave by a highly decorative Rood Screen, installed in 1954, between the by then installed Choir Vestry beneath the southeast gallery (1897) and the corresponding Vicar’s Vestry to the north.
The Lady Chapel below the gallery to the north side of the church was constructed in 1950. A small chapel to Little Poor Man of Assisi, St Francis, formed in 1956 on the gallery, to the southeast corner. The Sanctuary, built in 1897-98 by Preston and Vaughan, is in a matching style to the church. It is separated from the chancel/nave by way of square headed arch. The chancel was refurbishment of the 1950s.
The peal of eight bells rings out across the town to call people to worship and to proclaim weddings.
