Description
The Church of St Cynfil is a 19th-century building constructed in a Romanesque revival style. It features walls made of rendered stonework with diorite stone dressings and a slate roof that has raised gables. The church has a single cell design and includes a gabled west bellcote. The west door is round-arched and set on nook shafts with plain capitals, featuring a boarded door with studs and prominent iron hinges. On either side of the door are small round-headed lights that are 15 centimeters wide. Above the door is a circular window with two orders. Each side of the church has three round-headed windows, and there is a triplet of round-headed windows at the east end, with the lights separated by square columns acting as mullions, all with plain Romanesque capitals. A stone cross is positioned at the gable end.
Attached to the north wall is a tall monolithic slab that displays a relief coat of arms at its head and an inscription dedicated to Gruffyth ap Iohn Wynn, a member of the Penyberth branch of the family, who died in 1613 at the age of 79.
Inside, the west door leads to an internal lobby. The church has a three-bay roof supported by hammer beam trusses with arch braces at the collar. The walls are plastered above a dado. The interior includes an octagonal pulpit, simple pews, and an arcaded altar rail. The font has been removed to the nearby Dom Polski.
