Open Doors - St. Mary the Virgin Church, Lenten Pool, Denbigh

This church dates from the mid-19th century and was built as a replacement for St Hillary’s, of which only the tower remains beside the castle. It is a large stone-built aisled church in eclectic Victorian Gothic style, with a hundred-foot tower which has a clock and a peel of eight bells. The church is constructed in a light-coloured local limestone, irregularly pointed, with dressings from the Minera quarries. It has several attractive stained-glass windows, the feature window 1880 is named Scenes from the New Testament with the Twelve Apostles. Unusually, the architects also designed the font, reredos and the pulpit.

The 2024 Denbigh Open Doors Weekend launches Friday 20 September 2024 with a geology evening lecture at the Theatr Twm o'r Nant.
