Church of St Mary and All Saints, Conwy
View from the south east. The churchyard forms a precinct entirely surrounded by houses and other buildings, accessed by narrow lanes on all four sides. The small clerestory windows are part of the restoration of 1872 under Sir Gilbert Scott when the nave and chancel roofs were raised. The tower dates from the 14th and 15th centuries.
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.
