Church of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is an Anglican parish church built between 1846 and 1848. It is constructed from tooled squared local Pwntan stone, quarried at nearby Tan-y-Groes and laid in an ashlar fashion, exhibiting minimal decay or erosion. The church comprises a nave, chancel, a south porch, and a north nave aisle, each with separately roofed slate coverings. The gables are coped and shouldered with cross finials. The architecture is in the lancet style, featuring a plinth and string course.

The south side of the nave has three windows, with two-step clasping buttresses. The west end features two-step clasping buttresses, two tall lights, and a stepped bellcote with a single pointed arch and coped gable. The north side has two windows and a set-back two-window aisle with a clasping buttress on the northwest. The west end of the north aisle contains a single light, a door to the right, and a small octagonal turret. The chancel has two windows, clasping buttresses, and a three-light window to the east. The south porch has a chamfered doorway, shafted with a hood mould and carved head stops; the inner doorway has a boarded door.

The interior remains remarkably intact and displays a simplicity characteristic of its design. The walls are rendered, and the ceilings are high and open. Windows are recessed with pointed stone arches. The nave is supported by five arch-braced collar trusses. The church contains plain pine pews and a pulpit, five oil wall lamps (three to the north and two to the south), and two large iron and brass gothic corneas (six candles), one in the nave and one in the chancel. A scalloped 13th-century font of grey stone, originally from an earlier church, stands on a thick cylindrical shaft and a square stepped base, which is similar in style to the font at the Church of the Holy Cross, Mwnt. A stained pine screen, 2 metres high, separates the nave and the north aisle, featuring half-height column shafts and an octagonal centre pier with half-pier responds. The north aisle has a plain collar truss roof and smaller-scale stained pine pews, possibly indicating its use as a schoolroom. The chancel arch features half-column shafts. The chancel windows have stamped quarries. Stained pine choir stalls with large poppyheads are also present. A step leads to the sanctuary, which has pine alter rails.
