Description

The Church of St Tyfriog is a simple Perpendicular Gothic style church built from randomly coursed rubble, with limited use of freestone dressings, some of which are painted. It features a plinth and simple buttresses at the east end and the southeast of the nave. The church has slate roofs with overhanging eaves, a nave that is lower and narrower than the chancel, and a southwest tower. The two-stage tower has been cut down and includes a crenellated parapet, concrete cappings, and a set-back pyramidal spire that dates from around 1960.

The belfry has long lancet windows, and there is a four-centred doorway on the north side with a chamfered square-headed architrave and a blue-brick relieving arch. The east window is a stepped five-light design with uncarved label stops and a stepped-up sill band. There are two four-light mullion windows on the north and south sides of the nave, with a smaller one on the south side of the chancel featuring cusped lights. The west end has a date plaque above paired two-light windows that share a common drip mould and sill band. A boarded door is located on the north side, along with a lean-to vestry that has a plain three-light mullion window and a four-centred east doorway with a boarded door.

Inside, the church has scissor-rafter roofs and steps leading up to the chancel. There is an octagonal stone font and a timber-fronted pulpit, both from the late 19th century, along with late 19th-century benches. The east window, made by Clayton and Bell in 1929, complements the west windows from 1925 and 1927. The north wall features early 19th-century white marble plaques commemorating the Hall and Braithwaite families, ancestors of the Fitzwilliams family of Cilgwyn. The south wall includes a further memorial to the Fitzwilliams family, created around 1912 by Norbury of Liverpool, as well as an early 19th-century hatchment.
