Description

The Church of St Llwchaiarn is a Grade II listed building featuring a nave with stepped buttresses, which includes four two-light windows on the north side and three on the south side. The chancel has a three-light window on the north, a large three-light window on the east, and a two-light window on the south. The window heads are adorned with foiled circles and pointed hoodmoulds, and there are diagonal buttresses at the east end. The south side of the chancel includes a flat-roofed vestry and a shallow gabled organ-chamber, both designed in 1935 by W D Caroe.

Inside, the nave has a six-bay roof supported by scissor trusses with cusping. A large chancel arch is set on detached, ringed column shafts, and the chancel roof is panelled. There is an octagonal font made of ashlar from 1863 and pews featuring punched roundels on the bench ends. A small medieval font, which is damaged and in two pieces, consists of a plain cylindrical shaft and a square bowl with two surviving carved heads at the corners and remnants of arcading on two sides. The chancel furnishings, crafted in 1935 from limed oak by Caroe, are of high quality and reflect an individual late Gothic to Renaissance style, including a pulpit, stalls, rails, chair, and prayer desk. The altar from 1863 was encased, and a lavishly carved reredos was added. An organ was installed around 1990. There is some 20th-century stained glass, including an east window from around 1928, a north chancel window by Shrigley and Hunt from 1937, a south chancel window from 1960 by John Hayward, and a north nave window from around 1950.
