Church of St Mary and All Saints, Conwy – Rood screen detail
The church website describes this as 'the best in Europe'. It was installed to mark the wedding of King Henry VII's son Arthur (Prince of Wales) and Catherine of Aragon (Princess of Wales) in 1501.
Church of St Mary and All Saints
When King Edward I seized the land for his walled town and castle, the abbey was moved to Maenan, in the Conwy Valley. The abbey church in Conwy became the parish church of St Mary and All Saints c.1283.
The rebuilt church from the 13th century featured the south transept, chancel, nave and aisles, north vestry and the tower. The church was rebuilt in 1872, altering the roofline, windows and other features. Ancient fittings in the church include a rood screen dating from c.1500.
