Description

The Church of St David is a Tudor-Gothic style parish church dating to the 18th century. It comprises a nave and chancel under a single roof, and a south porch with coped gables. The church is built of rubble stone with freestone dressings and a slate roof. The south porch has a pointed arch with foliage stops to the hood mould, and a boarded south door under a similar arch with hood mould and head stops. A wall tablet commemorates William Lloyd (died 1826) to the right of the porch. Three-light square-headed south windows have hood moulds. The nave has a single window, and the chancel a pair, between which is a low Transitional doorway with a single order of nook shafts; the capitals bear weathered low-relief foliage, although they are not a pair, and the arch is roll-moulded round. One jamb stone bears part of a 13th-century inscription. The east window is a 3-light Perpendicular style window with hood mould and head stops. To its left is a wall tablet to Thomas Bach (died 1838), made by Davies of 'Brilley', a house south of the village. The nave has plain 3-light and 2-light north windows, and the west window is a 2-light Decorated style window with hood mould and head stops.

A bellcote is set back from the west end, featuring a weatherboarded base, paired cusped bell openings with louvres, and a pyramidal shingled roof with a weathervane.

The nave and chancel have an 8-bay arched-brace roof on a moulded wooden cornice. The late medieval font is plain, octagonal, lead-lined, and set on a later short square stem. The pews are plain, and the pulpit has relief decoration. A bold classical memorial to Andrew Phillips (died 1701) is set in the chancel south wall; it features an inscription panel flanked by putti and columns with Composite capitals, a frieze with a garlanded urn, and a foliage-enriched apron with an oval tablet, surmounted by a broken segmental pediment with reclining figures and an achievement. To the right is an earlier memorial to Owen Probert (died 1673), featuring a panel with low-relief heraldic arms and a scrolled surround topped by an angel. On the north side of the chancel is a monument to Deborah Burton (died 1775), made by J Rogers of Clun. It comprises a corbelled panel and pediment with low-relief urn and husk borders. The east wall contains wall memorials to Samuel Burton (died 1728) erected in 1867, by S Littlehales of Shrewsbury, and a double inscription panel to Mallet Burton (died 1769) and Edward Burton (died 1774). In the nave north wall is a monument to the four sons of Edward Griffiths (all of whom died between 1739 and 1758), featuring an inscription panel with fluted pilasters, a plain entablature, and a plain pediment.
