Description
Eglwys St Mair is a small Victorian church built in the early Decorated style. It features a chancel and a slightly higher aisled nave, along with a northwest porch and a west bellcote. The church is constructed of rubble masonry with freestone dressings, banding, and gable parapets.
The east end is buttressed and has a three-light window with a hoodmould and a stepped cill band, along with two cusped recesses below. There is a corbelled chimney breast on the south side of the chancel, although the stack has been removed. To the left, there is a two-light window and a shouldered doorway. The north aisle overlaps the chancel to include a vestry with a transomed window. The aisle features two-light double cusped windows below a clerestory that has alternating paired lancets and paired lozenge-shaped lights. The porch has diagonal buttresses and a quatrefoil above the boarded doors. The gabled west front has an advanced center that rises to a twin-arched bellcote, with a two-light grouped trefoil-headed window flanked by lancets above a boarded door entrance, which has a gable parapet above it. There are also two-light trefoil-headed aisle windows on the west side.
Inside, the church is whitewashed and has a five-bay nave with plain chamfered arcades and shouldered clerestory openings. The timber trusses feature pointed arch windbraces that rise from paired corbels below the wall plate. The chancel arch has gilded lettering on the moulded capitals, and the two-bay chancel has a similar truss rising from corbelled wall shafts. The roof over the altar has traceried panelling, and there are Gothic fittings, including a gilded and painted octagonal font and a cusped piscina, along with a patterned reredos. Some stained glass was created by Alfred Hemming in 1903.
