Back to the sea

With my back to the sea, the view isn't half as good. Here we get a shot of the footpath and steps which lead across the sea-defence boulders from the promenade.

St Michael's Church

The footpath from Groes Lwyd to St Michael's Church is one of several narrow lanes and paths in the town. The parish church occupies the site of a church erected in the eighth century on land granted by Maelgwyn Gwynedd to Elfod, Bishop of Bangor. The Church is dedicated to St Michael and follows the usual type of church found in the vale; rubble stone walls with limestone and sandstone dressings, slate roof with two large aisles. A large tower stands at the west end of the north aisle and the long outline of the south side is broken by a porch. The present building is of the late twelfth-early thirteenth century origin, modified or largely rebuilt ca1400, at which time the tower was probably built. It was repaired after neglect in 1663 and was restored and the tower raised in height and buttresses added in 1858-1861. The timber-framed south porch was added in 1879, the date cut on a tie beam. The church is Grade II*-listed as "a regionally important church with surviving medieval fabric, and a good collection of monuments" (Cadw Building ID: 237 Link

British Listed Buildings). History Points: Link

St Michael's Lych Gate

The lych gate of St. Michael's church is a Victorian addition and was erected to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887. The current, varnished gates replace a pair stolen by thieves posing as workmen around 1998.

Former Medical Hall, 51 Market Street, Abergele

Seen from the road leading from the church. On the right is side of the former NatWest Bank SH9477 : NatWest Bank Abergele. This building was once promoted to the public as a "Medical Hall". The sign painted onto the wall above the shop front records that it was the premises of DL Morgans, dispensing chemist and consulting optician, and that the business was founded in 1820. As the paint has faded it has revealed some of the earlier painted sign beneath, which appears to have had the same wording. A plaque further up the wall implies that the building was erected or enlarged in 1827. DL Morgans was the pharmacist here in the mid-20th century. During the Second World War he delivered medicines to Gwrych Castle for Jewish children who were living there after fleeing Nazi persecution in the "Kindertransport" initiative. The building fell into dereliction in the 1980s but was renovated in the 1990s. Since 1995 it has been home to Kitchens of Abergele Link
