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’.
Reference to St Martin’s church occurs in the Matriculus of 1220 when Hugh de Grantmesnil a powerful baron who owned much land in Leicestershire, gave it to the Abbot of Ware, who was Proctor of the monks of St. Evroult in Normandy, France. The first Rector was recorded in 1246.
The church was built in the late 13th and 14th centuries. It was restored and extended in 1884 by Stockdale Harrison. It has randomly coursed Mount Sorrel rubble, ashlar dressings, slate roofs with decorative tile ridges. It has a three-stage tower with diagonal buttresses. There is a monument to Elizabeth Muxloe, who died in 1723.
