Description
The Church of St Ffinan is a Romanesque style church built in 1841. It features a three-bay rectangular plan with a continuous nave and chancel. The structure is made of coursed roughly dressed masonry with freestone dressings, including a continuous sill band, plinth, and clasping buttresses. The roof is slate with a tiled ridge, an east gable cross finial, and a west gable bellcote. All openings are round-headed, with a single window in each bay and a tripartite window in the chancel. The west gable doorway has smaller flanking windows and a gallery window in the gable apex above a stone slab that is dated 1841.
The interior was not inspected during the survey but is reported to contain a 12th-century gritstone font, which has a circular bowl chamfered at the base to fit into a modern square pedestal, decorated with crude interlacing strap ornament. There are also 18th-century memorials for Iohn Llowyd of Hirdre Faig, who died in 1705, and Hugh, son of Richard Hugh of Ty Hen, who died in 1764.
