St. David’s Church

The architect of this church was Sir Arthur Blomfield, who was also responsible for St. David’s in Glanadda, Bangor.   It was built in 1897, in the Early English style, of local stone and red brick and Ruabon stone.   It was erected to provide services in Welsh for the many workers in the local stone quarry, and indeed its services are all still in Welsh.   The church has a two-manual Bevington pipe organ built in 1868 and originally installed in St. Seiriol’s.   It was moved to St. David’s in 1902, when a new organ was provided in St. Seiriol’s.   The centenary of St. David’s was celebrated in 1997.

There are many churches all over Wales, and one cathedral, dedicated to St. David, the famous sixth-century saint who is of course the patron saint of Wales.   His cell, at Mynyw (Menevia) in south-west Wales, later became St. David’s Cathedral.
