St Kentigern and St Asaph's, St Asaph

In 1872 Scott also restored the parish church of St. Asaph, which is on the east bank of the river Elwy, about two hundred yards below the cathedral. It is largely a fifteenth century double nave building on which Scott carried out another self-effacing restoration, although he provided a new roof, south porch, a vestry and a bellcote over the west wall of the south aisle. He also removed a gallery and pews, moved the organ and reseated and refitted it, providing a new pulpit . This cost £1,825.
