The White Church

SATURDAY

We headed down to North Wales this afternoon. An easy drive on the M62, M60, M56 and A55 with no hold-ups.

I took a short walk around Lower Denbigh this evening. The photo is St Marcella's Church on Whitchurch Road.

Known as 'The White Church' for its whitewashed exterior, St Marcella's is dedicated to the 7th century saint Marchell the Virgin, who is thought to have funded a hermitage beside a holy well here. A measure of just how sacred the site has been to local people is the fact that the church stands at least a mile from the town centre, yet it has always been Denbigh's parish church.
