Church of St Allgo

The Church of St Allgo is a Perpendicular style church built on a cruciform plan. The chancel and transepts date to the late 15th century, while the nave was rebuilt and lengthened in the late 19th century in a similar style. A single, western gable bellcote is also present, along with a small modern north porch. The church is constructed of rubble masonry with stressed pointing, and has a slate roof with stone coping and gable apex cross finials.

The chancel and transepts retain windows from the original 15th-century construction. The chancel’s east window has been repaired and incorporates modern tracery set within a 4-centred head and moulded label. The south wall of the chancel features a window comprised of two cinquefoil-headed lights within a square frame. The north transept has a cinquefoiled light in the east wall, and the south transept has a similar window to the east, as well as a south window featuring two cinquefoiled lights in a square frame. The nave, rebuilt in the late 19th century, also has windows with a similar design. Reused old stones are visible in the north doorway, which has a shallow 4-centred head and chamfered jambs. The bellcote contains a late 13th-century bell inscribed in Lombardic letters: + A V E M A R I A G R A C I A P L E N A.

The interior of the church mostly reflects the late 19th-century alterations, with some 20th-century fittings. The walls of the nave and transepts are clad in painted brickwork. The nave’s 4-bay roof features exposed arch braced trusses, whilst the chancel and transept roofs are wagon barrelled with tongue and grooved panelling recessed between moulded dividers; some medieval trusses have been retained.

A stone memorial is located on the north wall of the north transept, dedicated to Lewis Owen, Rector of Llaneugrad and Llanallgo, who died in 1771, and his grandson Henry Prichard, also deceased in 1771. The chancel floor is paved with local polished limestone. The reredos, chancel rail, altar, pulpit and reading desk are all made of limed oak, constructed in an early 20th-century Arts and Crafts style and dedicated to the memory of the Reverend Stephen Roose; they share similar details, including floriate bosses and trefoils. The east window contains coloured glass, the central panel depicting Christ in benediction with the message 'It is I, be not afraid'. The font is a modern circular bowl resting on a circular shaft with a moulded cap and an octagonal base.
