The Marble Church Bodelwydden
St Margaret's Church, Bodelwyddan is popularly known as the “Marble Church” because of the varieties of marble used in its construction. The pillars are made of Belgian Red marble, and the nave entrance is made from "Anglesey marble". It is said that its name comes from the thirteen different kinds of marble within the interior, however many locals would say its name derives from its white “marble” appearance. It is one of the best known and most spectacular churches in North Wales and is a prominent landmark along in the A55 trunk road, being visible for many miles (its spire rises to a height of 202 feet). It is dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch.
The church took just over four years to build; the foundation stone being laid on 24 July 1856, it was consecrated by the Bishop of St. Asaph on 23 August 1860. The church was built at a cost of sixty thousand pounds by Lady Willoughby de Broke in memory of her husband.
