Find a church

Here is a large town church that speaks of the 15th century. In 1483 Edward V, the husband of Elizabeth Woodville of nearby Grafton Regis, gave a large grant of stone from the royal quarries nearby in Whittlebury.

This redundant 14th century church is now cared for by the St Michael's Betws y Coed Trust and welcomes visitors from all over the world.

In the bustling mountain gateway to Snowdonia, St Mary's continues the tradition of a 'prayer house in the wood' (betws y coed).

There are two distinct reasons for coming here. The rare medieval wooden effigies and the association with the great nonconformist missionary William Carey (1761–1834).

Standing in a pleasantly rural setting on the edge of the Weald, with its 13th century tower and shingled broach spire overlooking the River Adur.

St Michael’s church is in the parish of Stowe Nine Churches, originally simply Stowe meaning ‘Christian Holy Place’.
