Apart from its two Art Deco buildings (and even they were minor – see previous post) most of the architecture in Mold was fairly undistinguished.
St Mary’s Church (Eglwys y Santes Fair) prominent at the end of the High Street and built in thanksgivinbg for Henry VII of England’s victory at Bosworth Field was an exception.

The ruins of Lindisfarne Priory are in Lindisfarne village on the low lying part of Holy Island (Lindisfarne.)
Just outside the ruins themselves there is a statue of St Aidan:-

In St Mary’s Church (see above) is this life-size wooden statue of Lindisfarne monks carrying St Cuthbert’s body round Northumbria in an attempt to find a safe place to bury him away from Viking pillagers. (Eventually he was interred in Durham Cathedral.)
