Maentwrog : Holy Cross Church
Image: © Lewis Clarke Taken: 22 Apr 2024
Probably late C18 building, formerly a tannery and converted to use as a Roman Catholic church in mid C20. The area had experienced an influx of Irish workers, brought from County Cork to build the dams for the original Maentwrog hydo-electric scheme. Some were said to have stayed on in the area, and the Church is said to reflect this history.
