St Winefride's Well often referred to as the 'Welsh…read moreLourdes' is reputed to be Britain's oldest continuously visited pilgrimage site. The unique well-head and St Winefride's Chapel above constitute some of Wales's best 15th century architecture. History Shrouded in legend, the site is said to date from the 7th century, when Winefride, daughter of a local nobleman and a devout Christian, was decapitated by the local Chieftain Caradog for resisting his advances. Through the prayers of her Uncle, Saint Beuno, her head was restored with only a faint scar, and a spring flowed from the spot where her head had fallen. Whatever the legend, the historic Winefride became a nun and ultimately abbess of the foundation at Gwytherin, and died there in 660AD. The well has since been a popular pilgrimage site, especially through the middle ages. Royal visitors have included Richard I, Henry V, Edward IV, and Richard III. James II and his second wife, Mary of Modena, visited in 1686 and it is said their prayers for a child were answered by the birth of their son, James Stuart. The present well-head and chapel were built in the early 1500s, although the shrine of St Winefride was destroyed in the reformation. Despite the best efforts of the authorities, the well continued to be a popular place of pilgrimage and was associated with the Catholic recusancy. The well was rented by the Jesuits in 1873 and is now in the care of the Catholic Diocese of Wrexham. St Winefride's Chapel is in the care of Cadw. The well and chapel The well complex includes a modern entrance building, museum and shop, with attractive lawns fronting the well-head. There is a large modern pool beside the well, where bathing is still permitted at certain times. The well-head itself (effectively forming the crypt of the chapel above) is an intricate structure, the stone-lined pool covered with an elaborate octagonal late Perpendicular vault. A profusion of elaborately carved bosses include depictions of St Winefride's legend, the likely patron of the building, Lady Margaret Beaufort, and scenes of healing. Nearby is a modern statue of St Winefride, complete with neck scar. The Chapel above is a delightful example of Perpendicular architecture, with a fine wooden roof and wide windows filled with clear glass. Corbels and bosses abound with yet more carving, depicting saints and angels, heraldic devices, beasts, dragons, hunting scenes and grotesque faces. The Chapel hosts occasional festival services.

Visited April 2015: "For Pilgrims suffering from aches and pains"…read more We were not sure where to park, since we did not see a parking lot adjacent to the buildings. We went through the gift shop, and paid 1 pound to get in. We were able to see several pilgrims swimming in the waters of the well. There is a garden and small cemetery attached to the buildings. My friend lit a candle and we were on our way.

As soon as you enter the Cathedral, the area is of a circular form giving it that communal feel. Its gracious and intricately designed stained glass windows add a rainbow effect, completely changing the outlook and ambience. My memories of visiting this cathedral go back to the days when I attended annual mass and award ceremonies relating to my school's Catholic beliefs. It is these memories which I have always cherished when the cathedral is packed full of people giving it that special atmosphere. The Cathedral is free to tour 7 days a week and I would recommend a visit especially if you have not been before.

Christ Church in Prestatyn, North Wales, is an important historical and architectural landmark in…read morethe area. The Church was established in the mid-19th century, specifically in 1862. It was built to serve the growing population of Prestatyn, which was experiencing development during this period due to its appeal as a seaside resort and the arrival of the railroad. Christ Church is designed in the Gothic Revival style, which was popular at the time. This architectural style is characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses. The church is constructed from local sandstone. It is a common practice in North Wales to use local materials for the many churches around the country.

I'm sure it was nicer at the time. Constructed in 1794, Holy Trinity Church's purpose was to allow all these men of business to talk to God without having to travel all the way to Childwall. The overspill from this in turn led to the building of St Bridget's on Bagot Street. Churches apparently breed asexually. Inside, the place is pretty bare and unspectacular. It obviously had some charm however as Sir John Betjeman, famed hater of Slough, described it as 'Liverpool's best Georgian church'. What an honour.

Incorporating carvings of the Madonna with child, Christ and a life-size Last Supper, this is a visual spectacle. Catharine Street is a very picturesque little area, and this church is home to the Liverpool universities' Roman Catholic Chaplaincy. Built somewhere between 1914 and 1920, the focus here is on sculpture and the name 'Saint Neri' came from Philip Neri having founded the original Oratory church in Rome. It's a Grade II listed building and recently obtained a grant amounting to £72,000 for the purpose of repairing water damage to the stunning mosaic tiles. You must explore the garden if you get a chance, it's been so beautifully done. The whole thing is a treat for the sentences and so very cute you might well sigh.

A huge brick representation of the Last Supper dominates the facade of the building, but inside the atmosphere is much cooler, both in temperature and in the way the Fonz would use it. To the right of the main entrance is a tiny chapel of blue mosaic tiles, where the light spilling through the little window gives the impression you're underwater, preferably somewhere in the tropics. It may just be the most relaxing place I've ever stood. Outside, the gardens (or El Jardin della Nuestra Senora) feel strangely foreign, like the kind of serene place in Greece or Italy you'd stroll around amid the buzz of cicadas. It's just a shame you can see English traffic grumbling past.

We were just walking from our hostel to the city center to find a nice spot to have a drink, it was about 8pm, and most of the city looked empty (which we thought it was very strange). From out of nowhere we see this church-like building but it seems like there is a music, perhaps a movie soundtrack coming out of it. Oh wait, are those lights? It was so intriguing and confusing we decided to walk in and see for ourselves. OMG, this exists? A church that lost their ceiling and they know use it to host open-air movie sessions, concerts and exhibitions? But how is the ceiling gone but the walls are intact. We were so impressed that took mental notes from the place and went to research about it later. We found out the St Luke's Church was built in the early 1800's but it was damaged and remains roofless since the Liverpool Blitz in 1941. The place is really interesting and if you are more courageous (or lucky) than we were you will be able to spend a couple of hours here enjoying a nice cultural activity, but since it was about -2º we decided to walk some place warmer - maybe next time.

The strong perpendicular lines are softened by a small garden and trees and bushes around the site, not to say an impressive wall with Gothic detailing. The church was designed by John Foster, and although work commenced in 1802, it was not consecrated until 1831, the final work having been carried out by his son. The style is a florid but striking Perpendicular Gothic, with elaborate pinnacles on the nave buttresses, and octagonal pinnacles rising above the chancel. Both church and the surrounding walls are Grade II* listed buildings. But it's not until you get up close that you realise that the church is just a shell, a victim of a fire-bomb in an air-raid on 5th May 1941. Never fully repaired, the walls are intact, but roofless and windowless. The site is still consecrated as a church, and the venue for various arts events, but in the main it stands as a sort of unofficial war memorial to the estimated 2,500 who lost their lives in the 1941 Liverpool Blitz.
