The
Church
Not far from Barmouth, this church was built on an
inland island - in a valley that flooded in winter. Not much
medieval work survives because the church was completely rebuilt
in the 1830s. It retains its interior fittings from this date
including named pews, a west gallery and organ, and pews that run
east of the sanctuary rail. The three decker pulpit is one of the
most magnificent in Wales. There are two stained glass
windows of note. East window of 3 lights in of 1900 and shows
Christ in Majesty, whilst the north window of 1905 shows the
figures of Israel and St Cynhaearn after whom the church is
named. The church is now undergoing final repairs having been
vested in The Friends of Friendless Churches. [John
