Eglwys Sant Cedol

Eglwys Sant Cedol is a church constructed from roughly squared igneous stone with margin dressed and scabbled gritstone dressings, the chancel joints galleted, and a modern slate roof. The church dates to the 17th or 18th century. The nave has five bays and is divided by gabled buttresses. It features 2-light windows with trefoiled heads and drip hoods with mask terminals, all margin glazed. The short chancel has a lean-to vestry on the south side, with a heating chamber located below. A triple lancet window illuminates the east end, and a floriated cross tops the gable. A tall, gabled bellcote, containing two 17th or 18th century bells and two lancets, is situated at the west end. A gabled south porch has a chamfered outer arch and a boarded door with heavy ironwork.

The interior contains 11 trusses with tie and curved struts to the apex, with the feet of the trusses carried down to wall corbels. A moulded chancel arch leads up three steps to the three-bay chancel, demarcated by similar trusses. The vestry, providing direct access to the pulpit, has a fireplace with a stone surround. Three further steps lead to the sanctuary, distinguished by a strong rail with turned balusters. The east window is framed by rere-arches on slender quatrefoil shafts. A raked gallery of two bays stands at the west end, featuring a balustraded front on cylindrical piers; the area beneath has been converted to a kitchen and meeting room.

A polished limestone pulpit cantilevers from the east nave wall, supported by moulded corbels. A font consists of a polished bowl set in a carved slate bowl with trefoil sides. The east windows commemorate the Nantporth family. Pine pews are fitted with tall lys ends carved with a trefoil arcade.

Monuments include a wall tablet on the north wall, framed in white marble with a weeping mourner leaning on a vase, dedicated to Hugh Williams of Pentir, died 1754, Margaret (Jones), died 1782 and family. On the south side, a Great War memorial slab is set in white marble on a relief carved slate tablet. Fittings from the old church include an oak communion table dated 1702 and ten engraved brass plates, placed on the window sills of the north side of the nave, dated 1664 to 1744, commemorating members of the Plas Pentir family.
