Gwydir Uchaf Chapel
Chamber Rating

Andy Foster
This is a wonderful little building. The plain exterior gives no hint of the glories within. The 1673 fittings are all complete, with pulpit, lectern, seating round the sides, Royal Arms of Charles II, and an altar with three-sided 'Laudian' rails. But the finest thing is the painted ceiling, rustic but splendid. It shows the Adoration of the Trinity, with God the Father, the Christ symbol, and the dove of the Holy Spirit surrounded by adoring angels. It must be the most Catholic interior of a seventeenth century Anglican church; there's even a Sacred Heart. The chapel is now open by appointment. It is free. You ring Gwydir Castle down the road to ask for the key. They need 24 hours notice.
