St. Margaret's Church

A lovely church. Worth a visit to see it. It has toilets which was a pleasent surprise. I would have liked to have lit a candle but as it was unattended maybe it would have been to much of a fire risk.

Fantastic feat of architecture. I have driven past it for years and admired it but close up its even better. I was suprised to find 90 service graves from WW1 there but who had died from the spanish flu in 1919. Very somber reminder.

An absolutely beautiful place to spend some time and a must visit, especially if you are passing. I feel like i should say no more. Wether you like the best of Victorian church construction or marble or wood carving or the peace of a friendly and welcoming church there is lots to admire here.There is a lot of interesting history here, from the story told in the churchyard about the Canadian World War troops or the short time it took to construct this wonder and the assortment of 14 different marbles in the church and the best of wood carving skills too.

Gorgeous church although didn't go inside, but was very picturesque from the outside

A great place to visit. A view to enjoy. From Wikipedia - The church contains fourteen varieties of marble including pillars made of Belgian Red marble, a nave entrance is made from Anglesey marble and shafts of Languedoc marble on bases of Purbeck marble. It also contains elaborate woodwork, and in the tower can be found windows of stained glass on the north and south sides, featuring Saint Margaret and Saint Kentigern.The other remarkable thing is - The churchyard contains the graves of numerous victims of the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918–19 in the camp which is nearby - Kinmel Camp, which was a military camp located in the grounds of Kinmel Hall. The camp was used by Canadian troops during the First World War. On 4–5 March 1919 a riot occurred in the camp when the ship allocated to return the troops to Canada was diverted to carry food supplies to Russia. Five Canadian soldiers were killed in the disturbances, four of whom were buried in St Margaret's Churchyard, with the fifth, Gunner John Frederick Hickman, being buried in Dorchester, New Brunswick. A common story is that they were executed for mutiny, but this has been denied by the Canadian Department of National Defence.

Passed by the Marble Church many times over the years while making my way to Llandudno but this time on the way home I decided to visit & so glad I did what a lovely church to visit can recommend it to anyone

Regardless of religious persuasion, this is a beautiful building to visit. Its location, adjacent to the A55 expressway makes it difficult to miss, with its 70 metre-high spire. In the adjacent churchyard are buried many Canadian servicemen, most of whom died in the Spanish 'flu outbreak whilst they were billeted nearby during the First Great War '14-'18. As I recall, there is a red-rose bush on each of the graves.

Lovely church and grounds

Wonderful visit what an amazing church well worth a visit with lovely friendly helpers see you again soon.
