A few days ago I had the pleasure of a visit from Mrs Diana Jones (was Roberts) and her husband Berwyn, and they brought interesting Rhyl information and pictures of various kinds.The black-and-white pictures above show the old St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church built in the 1860s on a corner of Ffynnongroew Road with its main entrance in Wellington Road. It was designed by the eminent English artist and writer on crafts and furniture, John Hungerford Pollen (senior). Above the door you can see a circular stained glass window from which the detail ‘Angel’ is taken.
When the old church was demolished in the 1970s, ‘Angel’ made a getaway and now resides in the stained glass museum at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire. THE STAINED GLASS MUSEUM is independent of the Cathedral and owns copyright in the image that I've used here.
