Open Doors - Tyddyn Street United Church
The church, designed by W. W. Gwyther, was built in the 1860's to meet the needs of the increasing number of English speakers in the town at that time of growth. The interior was remodelled in 2012 to the design of architect, Robin Wolley, to provide an Upper Room for meetings and events, with facilities and a flexible space downstairs.
The Mold Riots of 1869, an important industrial protest, took place around the church. A commemoration board of the event and the four people killed is found in the churchyard, and is also featured in the Upper Room poster exhibition.
This event will enable public access to the church, including the Upper Room poster exhibition of the people and events in Mold's history. The exhibition is the work of the Church History group under the guidance of local historian, David Rowe. The event will also provide an opportunity to see the designed fusion of open space for worship and events with the 19th century-style chapel witness.
Assisted by volunteers, the church will be open for public access for an hour each Wednesday during September 2021.
