Teitl / TitleSt. Celynin's New Church, Rowen
Ddisgrifiad / DescriptionA single cell country church with an unusual octagonal tower which at one time was surmounted by a spire but now has a battlemented top. A painting in the vestry shows the tower with spire. The Church was rebuilt and enlarged by the Rev. Evan Lloyd, Rector in 1840, Architect Thomas Jones.
In 1903 it was restored and rearranged by George Baker. The interior was decorated and furnished by H. L. North. The wood furnishings are very original and there is an 'English Altar' and an elegant eighteenth century marble font. A stained glass window commemorates the Rev. Hugh Jones (d. 1866) and his wife (d. 1893). Another window is in memory of Thomas Dalton, erected by his wife and children in 1914. A plaque given by members of the congregation remembers John Edwards, Rector's Warden 1931-1957, who died 16 September 1957 aged 82.
