All Saints Church, Deganwy, is an Anglican church in the town of Deganwy, Wales, on a site overlooking the Conwy estuary (grid reference SH783790).

Description[edit]

It is an active Anglican church in the benefice of Eglwysrhos (or Llanrhos), the deanery of Llanrwst, the archdeaconry of St Asaph, and the diocese of St Asaph.[1] It is designed by Cadw as a Grade II* listed building.[2]

The church was built as a memorial church by Lady Augusta Mostyn to a design by John Douglas of Chester on a site overlooking the Conwy estuary. It has a clerestory, a chancel higher than the nave, and a west tower.[3]

Organ[edit]

The two-manual organ was built by Alex Young and Sons of Manchester in 1899, and it was modified by L. Reeves in 1972.[4] .
