Overview

History & significance

St Mary's Church, Conwy is a medieval parish church located within the walled town of Conwy in Gwynedd, Wales. The church dates primarily from the fifteenth century, though it incorporates earlier structural elements reflecting the evolution of religious architecture across the medieval period. The building is constructed of stone and exemplifies the Perpendicular Gothic style characteristic of late medieval Welsh church architecture, with features typical of parish churches serving both the spiritual needs of the urban community and functions of burial and commemoration. As a scheduled ancient monument under the care of Cadw, St Mary's represents an important surviving example of medieval ecclesiastical provision within one of Wales's finest preserved medieval fortified towns.
