Teks dari Cadw Wales · bahasa Inggris
Simple yet dramatic church interior, combining low pine tongue-and-groove boarded ceilings with double-height space top-lighting the sanctuary. Access is from porch leading into small narthex with former baptistry in W corner and sacristy to the E . The narthex forms a standing area above the main worship space (to which it forms almost an aisle), . lit by 5 deep-set skylights – the pine balustrade is a later addition. Steps (and an added ramp) lead down to worship area, with liturgical N wall angled towards the sanctuary, and low ceiling. Double-height sanctuary raised up 1 step and altar raised up 3 further steps, all strikingly top lit from the clerestory window in the liturgical E face of the monopitched roof, and 2 high-set windows in the wall below it. Altar set towards the front of the sanctuary, of massive slabs of Penrhyn slate. Brass cylindrical tabernacle on rear wall with a slate above carrying a timber and metal crucifix, and above this a sculptured fish emblem with Chi-Rho symbol. Painted ceramic Stations of the Cross. Quarry tiled floors throughout, some areas carpeted.

Catholic Church 1964-5 by Stewart Powell Bowen with Bill Davies as leading architect.
Benllech, like many coastal towns in N Wales in the post-war period, balanced a relatively low resident Catholic population with a seasonal influx of tourists in the holiday seasons. In 1959 Fr J Jackson was appointed as parish priest by Bishop Petit of Menevia and he held a regular Mass in a local dance hall. Fr Jackson set about raising the funds for a permanent church and purchased a plot on Beach Road for £950. Fundraising was carried out to meet the construction costs and in that time a Caernarfon surveyor was contracted to design a church. Plans for a traditional stone-built church were drawn up but not carried out. Instead, Stewart Powell Bowen, working with Bill Davies, was taken on to design a church.
The design produced by Bill Davies was for a striking modern church, breaking away from tradition both in its embrace of the reforming ethos of the Second Vatican Council, and also in its use of a modern vernacular idiom responsive to its landscape context. The building was also designed to provide a flexible space, adaptable for seasonal fluctuations in congregation size. Construction of the church started in 1964 and was complete the following year at a cost of £15,500. It was opened by Bishop Petit on 5 September 1965.
The church at Benllech set precedents for future work and established the vernacular modernist style which was later used at two other Catholic churches in N Wales (Christ the King at Towyn in 1973-4 (qv) and St Illtyd at Rhuddlan in 1975-6 (qv) and then at the Presbyterian chapel of Capel y Groes in Wrexham (1982).
The original communion rails in the church have been removed and some other fittings have been replaced but otherwise the church survives little altered.
