Church of St Maritius

The Church of St Maritius is a Grade II listed building constructed from rubble stone with stone-tiled roofs. It features a small nave with a gabled west bellcote, a south porch, and a small apsidal chancel. There is a northeast vestry. The architectural details are primarily from the 19th century or earlier 20th century, with timber windows in the nave. The nave has three windows with flat heads, leaded lights, and shouldered arched heads for each light, including a two-light window to the west and a single light and two-light window on the north side. An added lean-to plain north vestry has a slate roof and an east lancet window.

The south side of the nave includes a gabled stone porch with a plastered roof inside, stone bench seats, and an earlier 20th-century door in a segmental pointed surround. There is one pointed window on the south side of the nave with two-light timber Y-tracery.

The chancel has canted sides and a taller east wall, each featuring pointed small lancets in rock-faced stone surrounds, with the east lancet set higher. The building has rock-faced quoins and plastered whitewashed walls, with a plastered three-sided ceiling supported by three tie-beam trusses, which are ceiled at collar level, two of them featuring angle struts. The floor is slate, and there are plain bench pews with square-headed panelled bench-ends, two box-pews at the west end, and one larger private pew in the northwest corner with high sides and seats on three sides. There are six pews on the north side, with the second having a fielded panel end and the sixth featuring fielded panels on the back, facing a square enclosure in front of the pulpit. The pulpit has a plain three-sided panel front with a book-rest. The north side includes pews and a two-sided reading desk with a book-rest. The chancel has seats built into two window recesses, featuring Jacobean-style panelled backs and scrolled arm rests, along with a low oak reredos, all likely from the earlier 20th century rather than the 17th century. There are plain oak rails and a heavily retooled round font on an octagonal shaft, possibly from the 13th century, said to have come from Aberedw.

At the west end, there is a plaque dedicated to T. Weal of Cwrt Gwenddwr (died 1822), signed by Davies of Builth, in two colours with an urn design. Additionally, there is an unusual electroplate or gilded metal plaque commemorating Sir Alfred T. Lawrence, 1st Baron Trevethin, of Abernant (1843-1936), who served as Lord Chief Justice from 1921 to 1922. This plaque features a portrait of him and his wife, taken from a wedding portrait of 1875, and is signed by Ernest Gillick.
