St Mary's Church, Mold

St Mary's Church, Mold is an Anglican church in Flintshire, Wales and a Grade I listed building. It is an active parish church in the deanery of Mold, the archdeaconry of Wrexham and the diocese of St Asaph. The church has historical associations with the Stanley family, Earls of Derby and displays the heraldic symbols of the family.〔 These include the Eagle and Child, which was adopted by the family in the 15th century, and the Three Legs of Man, which relates to the time when the Stanleys were Lords of Mann. Under Fr. Rex Matthias (incumbent) the church has embraced an Anglo-Catholic style of Churchmanship which has increased its congregation and proven very popular.
==History==
St Mary's Church () is built on the site of an earlier Norman church which fell into disrepair in the 14th century. This was replaced by a larger church in the 15th century, which in turn became dilapidated. This church, other than its tower, was demolished and the building of the present church began about 1490. The first patron of this building was Lady Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby, and mother of Henry VII.〔 She died in 1509 and the nave and aisles were not completed until about 1550. After the Reformation two bishops of St Asaph made financial contributions, Robert Wharton and William Hughes. Around this time the rectory of Mold passed to Bisham Priory. The priory was responsible for building the chancel, but this never took place. The chancel arch had been built but it was blocked up and a seven-light window was inserted. In 1674 a clock was purchased and the roof was re-leaded, in 1678 and 1733 new bells were added, in 1729 restoration work took place, and a gallery was added in 1751–52.〔 The west tower was replaced between 1768 and 1773 to a design by the architect Joseph Turner. Hubbard comments that despite its proportions it is "a creditable 18th-century attempt" at reproducing Perpendicular architecture.〔 It is possible that the clerestory was added at this time.〔
A major restoration was carried out between 1853 and 1856 by Sir George Gilbert Scott. This involved adding a chancel with a three-sided apse.〔 In addition the west gallery was removed, the pews were replaced by carved benches, and a pulpit, lectern and choir stalls were added. A new roof was built over the nave, the organ was moved to the east end of the north aisle and a north porch was added. In 1885 repairs to the stonework were carried out. A further restoration took place in 1911 supervised by the architectural firm Prothero, Phillott and Barnard of Cheltenham; this included the reconstruction of the south porch.〔 The Lady Chapel was restored in 1921 by Sir Thomas G. Jackson. Further restoration work was carried out in the 1950s and again between 1998 and 2001.
