Church of St Hywyn

The Church of St Hywyn is a parish church constructed from rubble stone with slate roofs, featuring coped gables and a bellcote at the west end of the nave. It has two equal aisles, with the north aisle being the original nave that includes a plain flat-topped bellcote and a single pointed arch, housing a bell from 1901. Both west gables and the north wall lack windows. There is a rainwater spout inscribed with "HP 1760" located between the west gables.

The fine arched doorway on the west side of the nave has three chamfered orders and a hoodmould, with triple jambs that are also chamfered and topped with ogee-moulded capitals, although the bases are hidden. This doorway is believed to date back to the 12th century, but the chamfered detail and capitals suggest it may have been altered or replaced in the 15th century. The north wall features a blocked low arched doorway, possibly from the 12th century. The large east window of the nave was blocked in 1848; it is said to be 'Early Pointed' with original jambs, but the 15th-century style three-light tracery is actually from the 19th century. Above it is a relieving arch for an earlier, possibly 14th-century, narrower window. The small size of this window compared to the east window of the south aisle suggests it was inserted into a lower gable that was raised when the south aisle was constructed.

The south aisle, built around 1500, features a large five-light east window with Perpendicular tracery, which has been partly renewed. The south wall has windows from around 1500, with four-centred arches, hoodmoulds, and three plain uncusped lights. There are two windows, with the third to the west being a former door that has been converted into a similar two-light window.

Inside, the walls are plastered, and the arch-braced collar roof of the nave is likely from the 19th century, while the roof of the south aisle, supported by hammerbeams, has been restored but retains much original timber. The church has six bays and features a fine arcade from around 1500, consisting of five four-centred arches of two orders with a central ogee fillet on octagonal piers that have moulded caps and bases. The north wall contains a blocked round arched doorway, possibly from the 12th century.

There is a plain octagonal font on an octagonal shaft, dating from around 1500. In the chancel, two inscribed stones were found near Gors, Anelog; one reads 'Veracius pbr hic iacit' and the other 'Senacus prsb hic iacit cwm multitudinem fratrem'. The ornate timber pulpit and litany desk were added in 1911, while the altar-rails, lectern, stalls, wood-block floors, and chancel marble steps were all installed in 1906. The south aisle features a large hanging iron corona with ten candle-branches, dating from the 19th or early 20th century.
