St Gelynnin, Henryd

Tucked away on the side of a hill above Henryd near Conwy nestles a small chapel dedicated to St Gelynnin .  Discovered through our geocaching adventures, it represents worship from years gone by, when the agricultural dwellings scattered across the hillsides provided homes for large families who, in fear of God, the local Minister and their neighbours, attended chapel each Sunday. Although the pews looked to be suitably uncomfortable for  enduring those “hell fire and damnation” sermons, there were some delightful features, such as the ancient writings on the East wall and the font at the back of the chapel
