More about this scene

Bodelwyddan is rightly famous for 'the marble church' that stands proudly in the surrounding countryside near Rhuddlan, its spire reaching up 202 feet. It was erected in 1856-60 at a cost of £60,000 for Lady Willoughby de Broke as a memorial to her husband. The church was built in a variety of stone and marble, which gives it its more colloquial name. The picture shows the church 30 years old, pristine and splendid.

On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
