S is for St. Marys and St. Nicholas Church

Saint Marys and Saint Nicholas Church in Beaumaris, Wales is a medieval church in a medieval town. Beaumaris is a small town on the Isle of Anglesey North Wales. The church was built in the 14th century. It holds a number of tombs, including that of Princess Joan of Wales, who was the daughter of King John of England and who was married to Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Wales.

When my mother's school was evacuated to Beaumaris in 1939, they attended this church Every Sunday, the students paraded through town in their Blue Coat uniforms, marched into the church and became the church choir.
