St Mary's Church, Llanrwst

St Mary's Church, Llanrwst, was located in Betws Road, Llanrwst, Conwy, Wales. It had been built in 1841–42, and was designed by Henry Kennedy. It was intended for the use of English residents and visitors to the region.[1] In 1874–75 the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin tripled the size of the chancel, extending it towards the east, and reseated the church at a cost of £925 (equivalent to £79,000 in 2015).[2] This cost included stained glass by Ward and Hughes in two of the chancel windows. The church was later demolished and its stone altar moved into the north aisle of St Grwst's Church elsewhere in the town.[3] Only fragments of the church walls have survived.[1]
