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’.
St Mary's curious appearance reflects an unusual and calamitous history. The church dates from the 12th century and has interesting features including a superb English Decorated period Gothic Font, a fine Jacobean pulpit complete with tester, delightfully rustic medieval pew ends and an unusual altar Baldacchino amongst other amazing artefacts.
By tradition and belief, our quaint and delightfully odd little church of St Mary Knaith, in its charming setting once formed some part of the monastic complex of Heynings Priory. A free guided tour of our church is available with tales of naughty nuns, civil war intrigue, and fabulous fortunes won, lost and given away. A history of the church and two leaflets are also available.
