Background
History
Llantilio Crossenny was a manor of the Bishops of Llandaff in the Middle Ages, and the site of their manor house can still be seen at Hen Gwrt. Their episcopal presence and the proximity of White Castle account for the "exceptional scale" of the church. It is of Old Red Sandstone with a "landmark" shingled spire. The tower and the nave are of the thirteenth century whilst the chancel was rebuilt in the fourteenth. The spire was added in the early eighteenth century and the whole was restored by John Prichard and John Pollard Seddon in 1856–57. The interior is described as "outstanding" by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales. Either side of the East window…
