St Mary, Treuddyn

St Mary’s is a Grade II Church in Wales parish church on Ffordd y Llan, Treuddyn, Flintshire, in the Diocese of St Asaph, listed for its reused medieval stained glass.

Overview

Cadw records the present church as a Gothic Revival rebuild of 1874–75 by T. H. Wyatt (1807–1880), which replaced a double-naved medieval church. Clergy are recorded on the site from the eleventh century. The building is of roughly dressed stone in regular courses under a slate roof: a nave with clerestory, lower apsidal chancel, north and south aisles, a south porch, and a bellcote above the chancel arch. The west end has three trefoil-headed lancets below a circular window; aisle windows are paired trefoil-headed lancets and the clerestory has cusped circular lights.

The interior is a plain five-bay space. Cadw lists the church for the high-quality glass reset in the apse: fragments ascribed to the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, now in the north and south windows. The north lights show early fourteenth-century monks under canopies; Mostyn-Lewis suggested a date of about 1305 for some of the glass and compared it with Merton College, Oxford. A Grade II sundial of 1803 stands on the axial path to the south porch.
