St Mary's Church, Eglwys Santes Fair, in Caernarfon is an early 14th century garrison church. Built into the town walls itself, St Mary's was built to serve the religious needs of the soldiers stationed in Caernarfon after the castle was built. The church underwent restoration in the 19th century. Part of this restoration was the addition of new windows to lighten the interior, achieved by blasting through the medieval town wall with gunpowder. Beneath the Bell Tower is the unusual sight of a three light stained glass window in a medieval defensive wall. In the church is house the cross used at the investiture ceremony held at Caernarfon Castle in 1969.
