Llangelynin Church
nr. Hendre,
probably St. Celynin |
The site
of the old church is high above the Conwy valley, in the
shelter of Tal y Fan. Several footpaths converge here. For
many years these would have been the main routes between the
Conwy valley and the settlements over the hills in Penmaenmawr
and west toward Caernarfon and Anglesey.
The nave of the church is the oldest part, to which the present chancel was added in the 15th century. In the following century, north and south chapels, a south porch and a new east window were added. In 1800 the south chapel and the gallery were demolished, but the church has remained essentially unchanged since then.
