St Garmon's Church, Capel Garmon, is a redundant Anglican parish church in the village of Capel Garmon, Conwy, Wales. The church was restored and reseated in 1862–63 by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley at a cost of £880 (equivalent to £90,000 in 2020).[1] During the restoration, the south wall was rebuilt, windows were renewed and a porch and north vestry were added. The seating was increased from 145 to 150.[2] The church consists of a single chamber. The windows contain plate tracery. Its exterior is partly rendered.[3] The church is now closed[4] and, as of 2006, it was being used as a builder's store.[2]
