Description
The Church of St Padarn is a small parish church featuring a nave and chancel constructed of whitened render beneath a single stone-tile roof, which includes a bellcote. The south wall has a segmental-pointed doorway to the left of the center, fitted with a 19th-century ribbed door and strap hinges. The 18th-century square-headed windows are equipped with wooden mullions and round-headed lights. The chancel contains two-light windows on the south and east sides, while the nave has a similar north window. The west wall features a replacement gable window. The gabled west bellcote has swept eaves and a pointed opening for a single bell, highlighted by a prominent keystone.
Inside, the nave and chancel boast a roof supported by closely spaced scissor-braced trusses, with some parts renewed in the center. A beam between the nave and chancel holds a large lath and plaster panel displaying faded Royal Arms, with the eastern side retaining a painted roundel featuring a Biblical inscription. Another faded Royal Arms is located on the north wall of the nave, opposite the entrance. The 18th-century communion rails have turned balusters and a moulded rail, reportedly brought from Aberedw. The font is 16-sided with crudely carved facets, resting on a plain round stem. The pews date from the 19th century. The 18th-century square, panelled pulpit stands on a stone base but appears truncated, indicating it may have been re-erected at this location. In the north wall of the nave, there is a freestone memorial to Evan Evans, featuring an inscription panel, an apron with low-relief foliage, and a draped urn on top.
