Description
The Church of St Cybi is a Grade II listed building constructed from rubble stone and topped with a slate single roof. It features a nave, chancel, west porch, and a bellcote added in 1890. The nave has two earlier 19th-century pointed windows on each side, which include recessed stone voussoirs, small-paned glazing, and Gothick intersecting bars in the heads. Under the eaves, there are ends of possibly ancient oak horizontal beams. The west end has a gabled porch with a slate roof and a pointed arch. Inside the porch is a pointed doorway that mirrors the nave windows with similar recessed voussoirs, leading to a ledged door. The bellcote, made of stone and ashlar, is coped with a cross on the ridge. The chancel walls are slightly recessed and windowless on the sides, featuring a stone cross from 1890 on the east side. The east end has a large pointed window with an ashlar surround and a hoodmould, which was removed from Betws Bledrws church and has a keystone dated 1850 or 1856. There is also a lean-to north vestry with a timber window and a west door.
Inside, the church has whitewashed plastered walls and a three-sided nave and chancel roof lined with 20th-century softboard. It features moulded plaster cornices and a broad chancel arch that appears to be made of softboard on studwork. The mid-19th-century box pews have Tudor-arched timber rails, and there is a later 19th-century timber pulpit. The stained glass window on the east side, created in 1854 by Thomas Ward of London, is likely designed by his partner Henry Hughes. It is a notable example of 14th-century style design with strong lines, depicting three scenes in octofoil panels: the Resurrection, Crucifixion, and Nativity. This window was originally the east window of Betws Bledrws and was removed during the restoration in 1886. The church also contains a plain octagonal font, which is said to be medieval but appears to be modern.
