St Mary's Church, Mold, is one of the 'Stanley' series of churches rebuilt c. 1500 under the patronage of Margaret, Countess of Richmond and Derby. It is twin aisled with a west tower rebuilt in 1773, and a porch with an Elizabethan inner doorway. The flat (camberbeam) aisle roof survives but the nave roof has been replaced. See the architectural description by Edward Hubbard in the The Buildings of Wales: Clwyd, p. 389-91. The nave arcade incorporates numerous shields.

Painted features include sixteenth century niches at the eastern end of the south aisle, a memorial panel of1636, and stars on the piers between the windows in the chancel added by Scott, c.1856.
