Description
The (Welsh) Church of St David lies on the west side of Rhiw Road next to the larger St Paul's (NPRN 308301). It was built in 1902-3 to designs of architects Douglas & Fordham of Chester. The church is aligned north-west by south-east and entered by the south-east end. It is a small stone-built church with red tile roofs consisting of a single chamber with apsidal sanctuary, a lean-to half-timbered porch on the south-east gable wall, and battered buttresses. A substantial square bellcote rises from the roof, with its own pyramid roof surmounted by a an octagonal spirelet. The (liturgical) west window is in Neo-Perpendicular style. The screen was made by David Jones, a local blacksmith.
