Description

The Church of St Ceidio is an Anglican church dating from the 19th century. It is a small rectangular structure made of large granite rubble boulders, featuring 19th-century limestone dressings and a slate roof with limestone copings. The church has a plain three-bay design, with north and south sides featuring cusped lancet windows with hoodmoulds. The east end has a flat-headed three-light window, also with a hoodmould. The west end includes a moulded pointed doorway with a hoodmould and an oak boarded door. At the top, there is a double bellcote with two moulded pointed cusped openings, a coped gable with a cross finial, and two-step side buttresses.

Inside, the church has a modest undivided interior with whitewashed plaster and a three-bay roof. It features three late-medieval arch-braced and pegged oak collar-trusses. Two of these trusses have cusped diagonal struts over the collars, while the third, located at the east wall, is plain. The purlins, wind-bracing, and rafters date from the 19th century. The arrangement of the truss divisions suggests that the chancel was once extended eastwards by one bay. The east end wall has a stone credence shelf on the right and a slate wall tablet under the window dated 1744. On the south wall, there is a brass plaque commemorating Sara E M Williams-Parry-Jones of Madryn Castle, who restored the church in memory of her brother, Sir T Love D Jones-Parry, on 15th September 1897. The church also contains a pitch-pine pulpit and reading desk with Gothic tracery on the blind panels, as well as late 19th-century pine pews with rolled tops. Four of the centre pews are earlier, designed in a vernacular bench style with open backs and carved initials: 'TPI Esq.', 'Mrs Owens', and 'Rev Mr WO'.
