Church of St Padrig

This is a simple rural church, built in the 16th century with later additions, and rectangular in plan. It is constructed of rubble masonry with sandstone dressings, now covered by a modern slate roof. A gabled porch is located on the southwest side, topped with a stone, circular cross finial at the east gable and a small bellcote on the west gable. The nave and chancel are roofed as one, but clearly represent separate construction phases, with a noticeable offset in the south wall.

The east window of the 16th-century chancel features three pointed-arched lights within a pointed-arched frame, retaining parts of the hoodmould. Other windows are from a 19th-century restoration. North windows have three round-headed lights in a round-arched frame, as do the south wall windows of the chancel, the westernmost being narrower. The south wall of the nave has a rectangular window of three leaded lights. The southwest porch entrance is bordered by 17th-century gravestones and has a pointed arch with wrought iron gates, featuring alternating tall and short rails rising towards the centre, with an ascending top rail, and tall rails with arrowhead finials. The arched inner doorway is accessed via a boarded door with floriate hinges.

The nave has a three-bay roof and the chancel a four-bay roof, both with exposed queen post trusses with braces extending down to wallposts resting on plain corbels, largely rebuilt after a fire. A two-centred pointed chancel arch divides the nave and chancel, springing from an advanced course. A tall, later 19th-century screen with open panels featuring Perpendicular traceried heads and a moulded rail with floriate bosses sits midway along the chancel. The sanctuary is raised by one step with a moulded rail on shaped balusters; an altar is raised a further step, both are floored with marble from the nearby Mynydd Mechell quarry. The reredos is composed of blue glass tiles with geometric and floral designs, crafted by Powells of Whitefriars in London. To the right of the altar is a mosaic titled "PASTER RONUS," an 'opus sectile' mosaic depicting Christ as a shepherd, set within weathered tracery including a plinth carved with a serpent symbol. The church’s colored glass features geometric designs and patterns reflecting an Islamic influence, favored by the church’s patron in the late 19th century. Along the west wall of the nave are memorial tablets and gravestones dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, along with an ancient ICHTUS stone. A 12th-century gritstone font with a low relief arcade of round-headed arches on pilasters with square imposts is positioned at the rear of the church. Each panel of the arcade contains a whorl or flowers, the circular bowl resting on a modern octagonal plinth.
