St. Dunawd was the distinguished Abbot of a huge 7th-century monastery, noted for the slaughter of 1200 monks by the Anglo-Saxons in 615AD. In approximately 1300 a red sandstone building was erected on what remained of the monastery, of which the chancel still stands.
From 1723 - 26 the architect Richard Trubshaw oversaw extensive rebuilding, including the bell tower which now houses six bells, four dated 1727 and the fifth and sixth 1865. In 1832 the north aisle was altered, in 1869 the south aisle was extended to form the present day baptistery, and in 1913 the vestry was built and the organ repositioned. Discover graves and memorial plaques dating from 1300, a font dating from 1500, and beautiful stained glass windows. Beneath the pulpit are fragments of stone from the old Bangor Cross.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list
