Saint Mary's Church, Churches and Chapels Betws y Coed, Conwy County - Wales where to go, what to see and where to stay in Wales

The Parish Church was built in 1873, and designed by Paley & Austin of Lancaster. It replaced the old St. Michael's Church which was too small to cope with the influx of tourists to Betws-y-coed in the 1870's. Much of the stained glass was designed by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833-1898). He also designed stained glass windows for churches in England, America, India, Germany and France and the mosaic decorations in the apse of the American Church in Rome.
