... St Collen gives its name to the town ...
... The Parish Church of Llangollen has ...
... the most exquisite carved oak ceiling built in 1450 under the guidance of the Abbot of
Valle Crusis Abbey.
Valle Crusis Abbey.
This painting portrays the church before it was extended in 1863
The church in the 'picture' above would have been only as long as the ornate roof ...
... wonderful carving ...
... looking towards the back of the church
An angel and a devil perhaps
... this aisle was part of the original church ...
...with the same beautifully carved roof ...
Through the choir to the alter and impressive stained glass window ...
... carvings create a backdrop to the alter too
The very decorative font
Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby ' the two most celebrated virgins in Europe whose visitors at their home Plas Newydd included Elizabeth Browning, Tennyson, Walter Scott and Wordsworth are buried in the churchyard.
