FLINT ST MARY PARISH CHURCH There has been a church on this site since 1291, just a few after King Edward built his castle at Flint. It is thought there may have been a wooden church here before the construction of the 13th century. It had a north aisle, a north porch and a small wooden steeple at its west end. ![]() During the English Civil War (1642-1646) the castle exchanged hands several times with brutality from both the Parliamentarian troops and the Royalists. The interior of St Marys Church was severely damaged by the Parliamentary Forces under the leadership of Sir William Brereton. The church never really recovered and, by 1846, it was in such poor condtion it was closed and the congregation moved to worship in the Town Hall. The old church was then demolished. It was that church (pictured above) where the two Henry Burgum's, mentioned below, were buried. The new church was consecrated on 5th December 1848 (picture right). The church continued to be called St Mary's until 2011 when it was changed to St Mary and St David. (Picture right) © Copyright Jaggery and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence. |
