Description
The Church of St Figael is a small, rectangular church constructed of rubble masonry. The church was rebuilt in the early 19th century and has a roof of small, old slates, grouted, with tiled copings and a rendered, gabled bellcote. The east window has a 4-centred arch; all other openings are square-headed, with modern lights and a boarded door. According to the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments, the bell is said to be inscribed with "GOD SAVE THIS CHURCH 1642."
The doorway leads directly into the church. The layout is unusual as the pulpit is situated along the north lateral wall and there is no chancel. The fittings are thought to be contemporary with the church’s rebuilding, and include box pews along the north, south, and east walls, along with simple benches with round-topped ends at the west end. The roof is of four bays, with exposed rafters, purlins, and collared trusses. At the west end of the church is an octagonal font from the 14th century, a 12th-century font from the church of St Ynghenedl, and a rare cupboard font.
