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

Built in the 14th century St Michael's Church is the oldest building in Betws-y-Coed but with the coming of the Conwy Valley Railway Line the old church was left cut off from the village and was eventually replaced by the parish church of St Mary's in 1873.<br /> St Michael's lay slumbering peacefully throughout the twentieth century but by the early 1990's it was in a sorry state, with a leaking roof and associated plaster damage � and it was urgently in need of repair work.But help was at hand, not from the official Welsh heritage organisation, Cadw, nor from the Church in Wales, but from a small group of people known as the Friends of St Michael�s.
