2014

Christ Church, Bala, is in Bala, Gwynedd, Wales (grid reference SH926362). It is an active Anglican church in the deanery of Penllyn & Edeyrnion, the archdeaconry of Wrexham, and the diocese of St Asaph.[1] The church was designated a Grade II listed building on 13 December 2001.[2]

The first church to be built on the site was in 1811.[3] The present church was built between 1853 and 1857.[4] The stalls and prayer desks were designed by the Chester architect John Douglas.[5] By the 2000s the church building had deteriorated and between March and November 2007 repairs and restoration were carried out at a cost of £600,000.[6]
