Description
The Church of St Swithin is a parish church built around 1850 by J Pritchard of Llandaff. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a decorative tiled roof with bands of fishscale tiles. The church includes a nave, a south porch, and a chancel with a north vestry, all designed in the Decorated style.
The nave has two square-headed windows with hoodmoulds, which contain cusped ogee-headed lights and spandrels. There is a two-light window on the west side and a three-light window on the east side, flanking the gabled porch. At the west end, a square-set bellcote is partly supported by a central buttress and features similar cusped ogee-headed openings in square surrounds, topped with a spirelet that has decorative lucarnes. The chancel has three cusped ogee-headed lancets.
Inside, the church boasts a decorative arch-braced roof with moulded members and cusped wind-braces. There is also a mock sepulchral recess in the north wall of the chancel, adorned with cusping and crocket ornament.
