Background

History

The present church is thought to date from the 18th century, and it was much rebuilt in 1841. After taking it over, the charity has organised the re-covering of the roof, and has re-introduced timber windows designed by Tim Ratcliffe, their design being based on the pre-existing windows.

Architecture

It is a small rectangular church constructed in stone rubble. At the west end is a gabled rendered bellcote. The doorway is at the west end of the south side, and there is no chancel. The fittings are thought to date from the 19th century. The pulpit is on the north side of the church; elsewhere there are box pews and benches. At the west end are three fonts; the oldest dates from the 12th century, and was formerly in the church of St Ynghenedl; the next dates from the 14th century, and is octagonal in shape; while the third is a "rare cupboard font".
