St Mary Magdalene
Church
is located in the small village of Cerrigydrudion, Conwy County,
North Wales. The church is set in the heart of the village looking toward
the village square i
n one direction and the glorious open countryside
in the other.
St Mary Magdalene is believed to have been
founded as early as AD 440, and was mentioned in the Norwich Taxation
of 1254. It was repaired and enlarged in 1503, and, as with many Welsh
churches, restored by the Victorians. Some of the surviving masonry may
be of 16th Century and a foundation course from an earlier, possibly
medieval structure, is apparent. There is a re-used 14th Century window
and inside the roof is late medieval, perhaps of 1503. There is a chest
of 1730, a few wall memorials and a benefaction board of 1737.
