Church of St. Deiniol

The Church of St. Deiniol is an Early English style church constructed from rubble masonry with limestone dressings. It dates to the early 13th Century and is located in a village setting.

The church comprises a three-bay nave, a shorter, narrower chancel to the east, an added vestry to the north of the chancel, and a porch on the west end of the south wall of the nave. The porch has a steeply pitched roof with a cross at its apex, featuring a pointed arched entrance with a single broach chamfered order and wrought iron gates. A bellcote of ashlar masonry, containing a single bell and surmounted by a cross, is situated on the west side of the nave; remnants of a cross socket remain at the east end, and a single offset angle buttress is present at the southeast corner. The windows are generally two-light with Y tracery, with one lancet window located west of the porch. The chancel features a cross socket at its east end and a single lancet window with cusped tracery in the south wall, with a three-stepped lancet window arrangement on the east gable. The vestry has a square ashlar chimney at its north end, a square headed window in the east wall, and a modern door in the north wall incorporating re-set medieval jambs and a pointed voussoir arch with a medieval carved human face as the keystone.

The nave has six roof bays, and the chancel has three. The interior reveals exposed collared trusses, with braces carried down to wall posts and stiff leafed foliage corbels. The chancel is raised by three steps, leading to a pointed arch of two chamfered orders; the sanctuary is raised by a further step, revealing a mosaic floor and a moulded rail on iron stanchions with floriate brackets. The vestry is accessed through a pointed arched doorway to the right and a wide segmental pointed arched opening to the left, featuring Tudor flower frieze carving set on composite piers and the carved date 1873 above. The walls are plastered and include tongued and grooved panelling to the lower half. A window in the chancel displays geometric patterning, and a northwest window commemorates Robert ap Hugh Williams of Plas Gwyn, dated 1897.

The font is octagonal granite, set on a single octagonal column with carved designs on each panel. The pulpit is rectangular, three-bay with the central bay advanced, and is panelled with a cusped tracery design to the upper part. Pulpit, pews, and the altar table are constructed of pine. A 18th-century carved slate memorial is located within the porch.
