1877 – St Thomas’s Church, Penycae, Wales

Built as a new foundation in 1877-8 to designs of Sir Aston Webb, and is a rare example in Wales of his work. The foundation stone was laid by Lady Williams Wynne in November 1877 and consecrated in the name of St Thomas in December 1878. The church is built of polygonal rock-faced rubble with ashlar dressings, and slate roofs with terracotta crestings. The plan comprises chancel, with north organ chamber and vestry, and nave with north aisle of three bays, with a wooden bellcote, covered with slates, at the junction of chancel and nave.
