Llangelynin New Church

Simple lancet style Gothic. Rubble construction with dressed quoins, surrounds and string-courses; shallow-pitched slate roof, feathered out slightly at the eaves. Squat, three storey W tower turning octagonal with stepped, triangular facets over simple first-floor lancets with linked cornice and hoodmoulds. Zigzag hoodmoulds to bellstorey with plain bell-openings and blank diagonals; cornice below crenellated parapet. Stepped, pointed opening in red brick to boarded W door with strap hinges.

5-bay continuous nave and chancel with symmetrical sides. These have small, centrally-placed, gabled vestries flanked by 2 large chamfered lancets on each side. 3 lancets to E end, the string-course stepped-up at this point.

The churchyard has slate headstones and tablet tombs, some railed, mostly dating from the C19. One especially fine railed slate-carved obelisk with finial to Ann Owen (d.1848) and Richard Owen (d.1870).

Very simple interior with shallow timber roof trusses, alternately with side braced collars and metal tie-rods; tapered king posts. Wide round arch from W porch; corbelled squinches in side tower over first-floor windows. Original wooden furnishings plus a Georgian polished marble font with baluster shaft (presumably from the old church). 2 stained glass windows by Jones and Willis, of London, Birmingham and Liverpool.
