Church of St Cynon

The Church of St Cynon is a Perpendicular style building, likely dating to the 18th century, with a south porch and a west bellcote. It is constructed of random rubble with red Alveley stone dressings, covered by a slate roof. The south wall features three stepped buttresses and three three-light windows with square heads to the right of the porch. To the left of the porch is a similar single-light window and a tablet commemorating the Richards family, dated 1796. The porch has a snecked stone plinth, an open timber frame, a slate roof, and a cast iron Celtic cross on its ridge. The south doorway has a single order of roll moulding and no capitals. The east wall has a five-light Perpendicular window and a Celtic cross on the ridge. The north side has buttresses mirroring the southern wall, but lacks windows. A shallow lean-to is located in the chancel, and a lean-to housing a boiler is on the right. The west wall contains a three-light window within a timber frame, dated 1787. The restored timber bellcote has a pyramidal slate roof with a weathervane engraved "AB 1787," a louvered bell stage with ogee-headed openings on its south and north faces, and weatherboarding below. An earlier, large timber sundial is set into the weatherboarding on the south face.

Inside, the nave and chancel are undivided, although the chancel was raised in 1892 with the addition of steps. The roof is arch-braced, with a moulded cornice, shield bosses, cusped windbraces, and boarded panels. A vestry was created at the west end in the 18th century, formed by a partition dividing off a section of the nave. This vestry houses the base of the bellcote, which comprises a rubble plinth with timber sills, posts, and scissor-braces. The nave contains two monuments to the Blayney family of Gregynog: a painted wooden tablet to David Lloyd Blayney (1709), and a Neo-Classical tablet to Arthur Blayney by John Bacon the Elder (1796), depicting a mourning lady, a nest with a pious Pelican, a draped urn, and an inscription. A further tablet to Thomas Colley (1812), also in Neo-Classical style with a draped urn, is also present. A stained glass window in the east wall was created by Clayton & Bell, and a south chancel window by Leonard Walker around 1921. An alabaster reredos, dated 1902, features white alabaster figures beneath pink canopies. A heptagonal, Perpendicular-style font is also present.
