St Baglan’s Church – Wikipedia
St Baglan’s Church is a redundant church in the parish of Llanfaglan, Gwynedd, Wales. It was made by CADW as a building in Grade I classified, [first] And is entertained by the Friends of Friendless Churches. [2] It is in an isolated location in a field, about 150 m away from a side street. [first]
The church comes from the 13th to 14th Century. The sanctuary was rebuilt around 1800 when the northern veranda was also added. It is unusual that the Church of the Restoration in the Victorian era escaped, so that its interior has changed little since 1800. As the reason for the classification in Grade I CADW called that the church was “a rare example of a medieval church that was not renewed in the 19th century and thus kept a complete set of interior fittings from the 18th century”. In addition, there is the “exceptionally remote location”. [first] The church has been owned by the non -profit organization since February 7, 1991 Friends of Friendless Churches . Since then it has been repaired, financially supported by CADW. [2]
The church is made of stone, the roof is covered with slate. The floor plan consists of the nave with the sanctuary under a continuous roof, a southern transept serving as a chapel and the veranda on the north side. There is a bell chair above the western gable, a weathered cross over the opposite gable. There are no windows in the nave, the only window in the altar room to the east has two openings. The walls to the south and east of the transept have small windows with two openings. A fall in door is embedded above the entrance, which consists of a stone labeled in the 6th century. The walls are plastered inside and painted with limestone white, as are the ceiling beams. The nave and sanctuary are not separated and the transept is completely open to the main ship. The floor is designed with slate slabs. The window located to the east dates from the 14th century and was newly used when the sanctuary was rebuilt. [first]
Interior and furniture [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
CADW describes the furniture from the middle and the end of the 18th century as “extraordinary”. [first] The altar made of oak wood is framed on three sides of railings, which are worn by slim baltors, cross flowers sit on the corner post. In the southwestern corner of the sanctuary is the pulpit, also made of oak wood. The rows of seats consist partly of box stalls and partly made of open pews, some of them are provided with initials and years. The baptismal font dates from the 13th or 14th centuries and consists of a seven -corner bowl made of coarse sandstone on a seven -corner shaft. Slate plaques are attached to the walls. [first]
