Two-manual Bevington pipe organ.
Built 1897 in the Early English style, the architect being Sir Arthur Blomfield. Local granite is used for external walls with red brick dressing for windows. Ruabon stone is used for door frames and string courses. Above the west gable stands the Ruabon stone bell-cote. Internally the church, entered by the south porch, consists of nave, chancel and sanctury, under one continual roof, with the north aisle divided from the nave by five arcades. Round stone pillars with capitals support brick arches. The east end, with its stone panelled reredos, contains five tall lancet windows depicting the Crucifixion, flanked by four Saints - Gwynin, Seiriol, Dewi and Deiniol. These windows are a parish memorial to those who died in the Second World War.
