Listed Churches

Church of St Mary, Minera
Grade II

The church is situated some 300m north west of the centre of Minera and north of the minor road to Gwynfryn. It is an Anglican Parish Church built in 1865-6 to designs by Kennedy and Rogers of Bangor and London.

The previous church on the site was a chapelry in Wrexham Parish dating from the 17th Century. In 1864 the chapel became inadequate and dilapidated. The cost towards building the new church was given by the Minera Mining Company.

Its exterior construction consists of rock faced crazed rubble Cefn sandstone with ashlar dressings, and a steep pitched slate roof banded purple and blue. It is listed as a relatively elaborate mid Victorian Church built to an evangelical plan with the equal arched cross giving maximum focus to the pulpit.
