Description

The Church of St Tudno is a Grade II* listed building featuring a plain rectangular structure that includes a nave and chancel, constructed with stone rubble walls and a slate gabled roof. On the north side, there is a porch and a vestry. The west end of the church has a 15th-century doorway and a single 19th-century bell-turret positioned on the gable end above. The northwest corner of the church thickens to form a sloping buttress. The gabled north porch has a square-headed doorway and a small light in the gable, leading to a Gothic doorway into the church, with an attached vestry.

On the north side, there is a small, round-headed single-light original window near the vestry, along with three lancet windows in the chancel and one in the nave, all dating from the 19th century or later. The south side features three windows with two cusped lights and square heads. The east end is adorned with a three-light Decorated window.

Inside, the church has an arch-braced roof with eight bays and a moulded wall-plate or cornice at the east end. The chancel is decorated with vine motifs and is separated from the nave by steps and a wooden screen from around 1900, which also includes choir stalls from the same period. A portion of the old rood screen, featuring a vine pattern, is present. There is a roof boss depicting the Stigmata. The porch contains an old pegged roof truss, and the font features a bowl from the 12th to 13th century set on a modern pedestal. Additionally, two medieval grave slabs are built into the southwest wall of the nave.
