CHURCH ROOM FOR LLANDRILLO-YN-RHOS. LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE BY THE HON. MRS LAURENCE BRODRICK - When the Rev E. James Evans. M.A., accepted the living of Llandrillo-yn-Rhos, he felt that a Church Room was greatly needed in the interests of Church work in the parish, and he speedily set about the initial steps for supplying that need. In this he has been loyally supported by practically all the parishioners. Sir Everard Cayley, Bart., very generously gave the site, the Lady Mary Cayley kindly opened the bazaar in aid of the funds, and Mr W. Horton, of Bryn Dinartb, gave stones for the building. The work has been put in hand, and the foundation have been laid, the site being in the known as Larkfield, off the Rhos Road. Mr Hawxby, of Rhos, is the architect, and the contract has been let to Mr Isaac Hughes, Bryn Defaid; the estimated cost being £1,175. The building will comprise a large room, 62 feet by 20 feet, capable of seating 300 people, a classroom, 17 feet by 15 feet, and an annexe for the cooking range and lavatory accommodation, with the heating range below.

NEW CHURCH ROOM AT LLANDRILLO-YN-RHOS. - The Bishop of St. Asaph formally opened the new Church Room at Llandrillo on Friday afternoon. The building, erected by Mr. Isaac Hughes, from the plans of Mr. Hawxby, stands on the Lark Field, adjoining Rhos Road, and is of a picturesque description. It is surmounted by a graceful turret, which is somewhat unique by reason of the fact that it is covered with oak shingles. Another interesting feature is the oak beams over the front entrance, carved by Mrs. F. James Evans with Welsh dragons and other devices. The Church Room is 62 feet by 30 feet, with a classroom 17 feet by 15 feet adjoining, together with a kitchen and laundry and other useful apartments. On entering the room, one is agreeably impressed by the great care bestowed on the lighting and ventilation. Accommodation is afforded for 300 people, and the contract amounts to £12,750 (sic). which amount does not cover the furnishing. [North Wales Weekly News 12 June 1903 page 6]
