Church of St Mary

Inner doors at W entrance may be the originals: paired simply traceried doors, with quatrefoils pierced in the mid-rail. Simple interior. Shallow roof with 5 trusses - curved braces to collar, short king posts and struts. No structural division between nave and the short chancel; the only demarcation is given by the late C19 raised steps with mosaic inlay (by J C Edwards of Ruabon).

Fittings: simple communion rails, and fine altar and reredos, designed by C R Ashbee and carved by Emile de Vynck, a Belgian carver who was living in Pentrefelin. Commissioned in memory of Randall Casson, agent to the Tremadoc estate between 1896 and 1911, and installed in 1917. Renaissance style, each articulated as 3 panels between pilasters enriched with stylised foliage, urns and vine trails. Inscription in central panel of altar, emblems of passion superimposed on simple shields in flanking panels.

Pulpit carved by Constance Greaves of Wern Manor, c 1895, Jacobean style. Bates organ of 1857 in N transept.

Stained glass in E window, in memory of John Whitehead Greaves and his wife Ellen, installed in 1899. A richly coloured rendition of the Baptism of Christ.

Marble memorial tablet on nave N wall, to John Williams, agent to Madocks; by Spence & Son of Liverpool.
