Church of St. Maelog

This is a small Decorated church. It was likely built in the 18th century, and includes a four-bay nave with a bellcote at the west gable, a south porch, and a shorter, narrower chancel at the east end, with a north vestry and a lean-to extension attached. The church is constructed of rubble masonry with gritstone dressings, and has a slate roof with stone copings. Stone crosses are positioned at the east chancel and porch gable apexes. Remains of a cross socket are visible at the apex of the east gable of the nave.

The walls are articulated by a plinth and a continuous sill band, with each nave bay further emphasized by stepped buttresses. A central buttress sits on the south wall of the chancel, and tall buttresses flank the window in the west gable. The main entrance is through the pointed-arched, chamfered doorway of the south porch. A narrow, trefoil-headed window is located west of the porch, with similarly detailed windows in three of the four bays along the north wall of the nave. A notable feature is the second window from the west end, which has a pointed arch with paired, trefoil-headed lights and a quatrefoil above. Similar windows are present in the two easternmost bays of the south wall of the nave. The west gable window is a tall lancet, with the flanking buttresses linked by a string course below a rubble plinth with raking sides, which supports an ashlar bellcote topped with a cross. The chancel features a stepped, trefoil-headed window.

The north vestry has a pointed arched entrance with a moulded surround; a leaded light with a shaped head is to the west of the doorway, while a single rectangular leaded light is located to the east, integrated into the lean-to extension. The vestry has a steeply pitched roof, culminating in an ashlar chimney at the north gable apex.

Inside, the church has nine roof bays with exposed rafters and collared trusses, the soffits being chamfered. Braces descend from the trusses to plain corbels on the walls. The chancel arch is chamfered, and the floor is raised two steps and covered in geometric tiles. The sanctuary is raised a further three steps. The sanctuary fittings, including the altar table, rail, and reredos, are made of moulded oak and share a design with cusped tracery detailing at the heads of the panels, which also form brackets for the moulded sanctuary rail and floriate bosses. The reredos has raised panels flanking the chancel window, connected by an ornate frieze which steps up in the centre. The altar table has a central carved panel depicting the Lamb of God. The oak pulpit is raised by five curving steps, topped with an octagonal surface featuring deeply recessed panels and supported by four columns with moulded capitals and plinths. The gritstone font also has an octagonal top, supported by a columned base. The church contains some stained glass from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including a Pre-Raphaelite style window of St. Cecilia, dedicated to John Price Roberts of Plas Maelog, who died in 1857, and a chancel window depicting the Last Supper, dedicated to Rev. John William Trevor M.A.
