St Gwynin’s Church, Llandegwning, Botwnnog, near Abersoch, Gwynedd

St Gwynin’s Church, Llandegwynin was closed officially in 1995 but it is thought that regular services ceased some 30 years ago. The church, listed grade II, is located south of Botwnnog, Gwynedd, in a small churchyard which has several nineteenth century chest tombs. It is a small church in a primitive Gothic style, rebuilt in 1840 to the designs of the architect, John Welch. A particular feature is the octagonal west tower with rendered conical spire. The rest of the church is single cell and it retains its original simple interior, with whitewashed walls and box pews. An example of simple Georgian Gothic church building in a very remote location.
