Description
The Church of St Mary features a nave, a small chancel, a west tower topped with a broach spire, and a south porch. It is constructed from coursed rubble with a slate roof, and includes buttresses and copings. The church has wide lancet windows.

Similar corbels are found under the feet of slender roof cross-braced trusses. The church also contains an early monolithic font, a 17th-century communion table, and some 18th-century dado panelling. There are memorial tablets dedicated to the Beavans of Tyn-y-Cwm and 14th-century bells.
