Church of Saint Teilo

Parish church, rubble stone with slate roof banded in two colours. Single long vessel with small square W end bell-turret. Bell turret is square slated on all faces with slate pyramid roof. The w face overhangs slightly on 3 oak uncarved brackets. Windows are Victorian cusped lancets in Bath stone. W end has single light between two big buttresses with battered bases, high string course (carried under window as sill course) and top parts sloped in to a point roughly at eaves level. S side has a 2-light, moulded pointed door with hoodmould (the stops awaiting carving) and double doors, a 2-light, then a taller 2-light with quatrefoil over under a gable with bargeboards, a blocked chancel door, roughly arched with stone voussoirs, and a single light. E end has a three light window with three cusped lights and two quatrefoils under pointed hoodmould. Wrought iron cross on gable end. N side is similar to S but without the door: two two-lights, a larger two-light with quatrefoil under a gable and a chancel single light. Traces of limewashed plaster mostly under eaves, much more showing in early photographs.
