Description

Also known as the Marble Church, there are over 100 burials of the 1914-1918 war here, in the South East part of the churchyard. Over 80 of the burials are those of Canadian soldiers who died in the repatriation camp at Kinmel Park in 1919, largely from influenza. \n\nThe Canadian troops erected a memorial Cross of red sandstone, on an inscribed base, in the churchyard. The Military Hospital at Kinmel Park contained, in huts and under canvas, 1290 beds; and the 9th Canadian General Hospital was there in 1918-1919. \n\nThe 4 burials of the 1914-1918 war in Holywell (St. Peter) Churchyard are now commemorated by Special Memorial headstones in this churchyard.\n\nThere are now nearly 120, 1914-1918 and 2, 1939-1945 war casualties commemorated in this site. (info taken from www.cwgc.org) \n\nThe church was erected by Lady Willoughby de Broke in memory of her husband, Henry Peyto-Verney, 16th Baron Willoughby de Broke. She laid the foundation stone on 24 July 1856 and the new church designed by John Gibson was consecrated by the Bishop of St. Asaph on 23 August 1860 after construction at a cost of £60,000. The new parish of Bodelwyddan was created on 3 August 1860, from the communities of Bodelwyddan, Faenol and Pengwern, which until that date had been part of the parish of St. Asaph.\n\nThe church contains pillars made of Belgian Red marble, and the nave entrance is made from \"Anglesey marble\". It also contains elaborate woodwork, and in the tower can be found windows of stained glass on the North and South sides, featuring Saint Margaret and Saint Kentigern, and is a popular tourist destination.\n\nThe church was in Flintshire until 1974, in Clwyd from 1974 until 1996, and since then has been in Denbighshire.
