Abstract:		 Sir Stephen Glynne had a national reputation as a careful observer of medieval churches. At regular intervals throughout the year this indefatigable antiquary would leave his home Hawarden Castle to set out upon one of his many church-visiting tours. This was a common pattern from 1840 until his death in 1874. The results of his visits are contained in over a hundred notebooks filled with architectural observations, while twenty surviving diaries and four pocket-books record other aspects of his tours. However, either out of modesty or procrastination, he never published his observations. Yet it is upon his assiduous recording of English and Welsh churches, posthumously published, that his reputation stands. The majority of this essay will explore the church notes he composed in Wales assessed in relation to the various phases of his life. From this article one can assess the value of these church notes compiled by a pioneer architectural recorder. Glynne toured Wales as an enthusiastic and appraising observer in the central fifty years of the nineteenth century as the full tide of Victorian restoration, swept along by the Oxford Movement, removed the decayed medieval fabric or corrected the ‘debased’ work of post-Reformation centuries.
