Open Doors - St Thomas’s Presbyterian Church, Denbigh

This is the main English Free Church in Denbigh, a happy amalgam of many denominations. In the 1870s there was a need for an English-speaking Methodist church; Capel Mawr had held occasional services for English speakers. It was built in the Lombardic/Italian style, displayed in the gabled entrance, with a tower on the site of the former New Inn pub and yard. The foundation stone is dated 1 October 1878 by Watkin Williams (MP) and Thomas Gee (mayor). The first service was not held until 27 June 1880. The impressive church organ dates from 1903, with the old schoolroom rebuilt in 1970.
