New Church at Llanmyneck, 1844. Church in the village of Llanymynech, near Oswestry in Shropshire. The architects were '...Messrs. Pearsons, of Oswestry...the funds having been raised by private subscription, aided by a grant from the Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels. It is constructed entirely of stone, with the exception of the arches and ornamental portions, which are of moulded firebrick: the roof is covered with grey tiles. The tower is very characteristic in its details: at the apex of the roof is a round ball, whence spring the vane and weathercock'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
