Church of St Padarn

The Church of St Padarn is a small Decorated-style parish church dating from the 14th or 15th century, with significant restoration work in 1894 and later. It consists of a nave and chancel under a single roof, accompanied by a south porch and a bellcote. The church is constructed of rubble stone with a tile roof. The south porch features coped gables with moulded kneelers, trefoiled gablets, and a hollow-chamfered two-centred doorway. All windows have hood moulds and were replaced in 1894, except for the restored north-west window. The nave has two two-light south windows, a buttress at the east end, and a single-light chancel window. The chancel features a three-light east window. Matching north windows are present. A three-light Perpendicular window is located at the west end of the nave. The square wooden bellcote has cusped arcading below taller trefoiled bell openings with louvres, and a pyramidal metal roof.

The nave and chancel are covered by a restored late medieval roof. The nave roof is comprised of five bays; all but one truss rest on polygonal corbels and feature cusping to diagonal struts beneath the apex. The remaining truss has a moulded tie beam. Two plainer arched braces were inserted in 1894 at the west end to support the bellcote. The chancel's roof is divided into four bays, with the two easternmost trusses resting on a moulded cornice and the others on corbels. The two easternmost corbels have relief decoration and are believed to be the "stone brackets or corbels" mentioned in 1874, originally intended to carry images. These were re-set in the roof during the 1894 restoration. Inside the chancel is a simple arched piscina in the south wall, likely dating from 1894, and an arcaded wooden reredos. A section of the medieval rood loft bressumer remains, spanning the interior between the nave and chancel, exhibiting vine-trail and water-plant decoration.

A crudely carved octagonal font rests on a pedestal with broach stops, and is likely of 14th or 15th century origin. 19th century pews have moulded ends. The pulpit is constructed from re-used 18th century panels, and is polygonal in shape, set on a broad pedestal displaying decorated panels. The early Georgian communion rail has thick turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and square posts. One post is inscribed with 'IG 1716' in raised letters and numerals.

Memorials are present in both the nave and chancel. A memorial to Valentine Thickins (died 1818), by B. Davies of Clun, is situated on the nave's north wall, consisting of a slate inscription tablet with a painted freestone apron and pediment. A memorial to George Oliver (died 1836?) is on the nave’s south wall, constructed as a table tomb in painted freestone, with flanked splayed pilasters and a pediment surmounted by a lozenge panel decorated with low-relief flowers and shells, and a corbel for a finial. A memorial to Rev Thomas Jenkins (died 1929), by W.A. Morris of Swansea, is located on the chancel's north wall, featuring a marble scroll on a polished black slate background.

The east window depicts Christ with a communion chalice at the Last Supper, dated 1979 by Celtic Studios of Swansea.
