Open Doors - Llanfwrog Church
The church in Llanfwrog is thought to have origins in the early Celtic Christian period, around the 7th century AD, and this is made more likely by its dedication to the early saint, St Mwrog, and the fact that the churchyard was originally circular. What you see now is largely 15th and 16th century in date, but with a large amount of Victorian restoration dating to 1869/70. The church was reopened in 1870.
There are a number of interesting gravestones in the churchyard, including one dated to 1640, propped up against the church. The graveyard also contains the family tomb of the Peers family - Joseph Peers was Clerk to the Justices of the Peace from 1833 until 1883, and the Peers Memorial Clocktower in the centre of Ruthin was built as a mark of respect for his fifty years of public service.
No booking required.
